1 Sir 33, 1 There shall no evil happen unto him that feareth the Lord; but in temptation even again he will deliver him. 2 Sir 33, 2 A wise man hateth not the law; but he that is an hypocrite therein is as a ship in a storm. 3 Sir 33, 3 A man of understanding trusteth in the law; and the law is faithful unto him, as an oracle. 4 Sir 33, 4 Prepare what to say, and so thou shalt be heard: and bind up instruction, and then make answer. 5 Sir 33, 5 The heart of the foolish is like a cartwheel; and his thoughts are like a rolling axletree. 6 Sir 33, 6 A stallion horse is as a mocking friend, he neigheth under every one that sitteth upon him. 7 Sir 33, 7 Why doth one day excel another, when as all the light of every day in the year is of the sun? 8 Sir 33, 8 By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished: and he altered seasons and feasts. 9 Sir 33, 9 Some of them hath he made high days, and hallowed them, and some of them hath he made ordinary days. 10 Sir 33, 10 And all men are from the ground, and Adam was created of earth: 11 Sir 33, 11 In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, and made their ways diverse. 12 Sir 33, 12 Some of them hath he blessed and exalted and some of them he sanctified, and set near himself: but some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned out of their places. 13 Sir 33, 13 As the clay is in the potter's hand, to fashion it at his pleasure: so man is in the hand of him that made him, to render to them as liketh him best. 14 Sir 33, 14 Good is set against evil, and life against death: so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly. 15 Sir 33, 15 So look upon all the works of the most High; and there are two and two, one against another. 16 Sir 33, 16 I awaked up last of all, as one that gathereth after the grapegatherers: by the blessing of the Lord I profited, and tred my winepress like a gatherer of grapes. 17 Sir 33, 17 Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning. 18 Sir 33, 18 Hear me, O ye great men of the people, and hearken with your ears, ye rulers of the congregation. 19 Sir 33, 19 Give not thy son and wife, thy brother and friend, power over thee while thou livest, and give not thy goods to another: lest it repent thee, and thou intreat for the same again. 20 Sir 33, 20 As long as thou livest and hast breath in thee, give not thyself over to any. 21 Sir 33, 21 For better it is that thy children should seek to thee, than that thou shouldest stand to their courtesy. 22 Sir 33, 22 In all thy works keep to thyself the preeminence; leave not a stain in thine honour. 23 Sir 33, 23 At the time when thou shalt end thy days, and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance. 24 Sir 33, 24 Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass; and bread, correction, and work, for a servant. . 25 Sir 33, 25 If thou set thy servant to labour, thou shalt find rest: but if thou let him go idle, he shall seek liberty. 26 Sir 33, 26 A yoke and a collar do bow the neck: so are tortures and torments for an evil servant. 27 Sir 33, 27 Send him to labour, that he be not idle; for idleness teacheth much evil. 28 Sir 33, 28 Set him to work, as is fit for him: if he be not obedient, put on more heavy fetters. 29 Sir 33, 29 But be not excessive toward any; and without discretion do nothing. 30 Sir 33, 30 If thou have a servant, let him be unto thee as thyself, because thou hast bought him with a price. 31 Sir 33, 31 If thou have a servant, entreat him as a brother: for thou hast need of him, as of thine own soul: if thou entreat him evil, and he run from thee, which way wilt thou go to seek him?

Sir 33,12 - Sir má na mysli najmä svoj národ a v Izraeli pokolenie Léviho. – Prekliati boli Kanaánci, ktorí museli ustúpiť Izraelitom.
Sir 33,16-17 - Sirachovec hovorí o sebe skromne. Pred ním už mnohí napísali knihy plné múdrosti. Jeho úsilie Boh požehnal. Lebo kniha sa mu rozrástla a podáva bohato zoskupenú náuku.
Sir 33,25 - Ale Sir odporúča ľudské zachádzanie s otrokom (porov. v. 31–32).
