1 Sir 12, 1 When thou wilt do good know to whom thou doest it; so shalt thou be thanked for thy benefits. 2 Sir 12, 2 Do good to the godly man, and thou shalt find a recompence; and if not from him, yet from the most High. 3 Sir 12, 3 There can no good come to him that is always occupied in evil, nor to him that giveth no alms. 4 Sir 12, 4 Give to the godly man, and help not a sinner. 5 Sir 12, 5 Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not to the ungodly: hold back thy bread, and give it not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby: for [else] thou shalt receive twice as much evil for all the good thou shalt have done unto him. 6 Sir 12, 6 For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment. 7 Sir 12, 7 Give unto the good, and help not the sinner. 8 Sir 12, 8 A friend cannot be known in prosperity: and an enemy cannot be hidden in adversity. 9 Sir 12, 9 In the prosperity of a man enemies will be grieved: but in his adversity even a friend will depart. 10 Sir 12, 10 Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness. 11 Sir 12, 11 Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a lookingglass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away. 12 Sir 12, 12 Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith. 13 Sir 12, 13 Who will pity a charmer that is bitten with a serpent, or any such as come nigh wild beasts? 14 Sir 12, 14 So one that goeth to a sinner, and is defiled with him in his sins, who will pity? 15 Sir 12, 15 For a while he will abide with thee, but if thou begin to fall, he will not tarry. 16 Sir 12, 16 An enemy speaketh sweetly with his lips, but in his heart he imagineth how to throw thee into a pit: he will weep with his eyes, but if he find opportunity, he will not be satisfied with blood. 17 Sir 12, 17 If adversity come upon thee, thou shalt find him there first; and though he pretend to help thee, yet shall he undermine thee. 18 Sir 12, 18 He will shake his head, and clap his hands, and whisper much, and change his countenance.

Sir 12,3 - Podľa hebrejského by verš znel:"Niet odmeny pre toho, kto hriešnych občerstvuje,a taký človek nemôže nadobudnúť nijakej zásluhy."Je to nedokonalá mravouka, aká zodpovedala nižšej mravnej úrovni Starého zákona. Kresťanskú náuku pozri Mt 5,44.
Sir 12,9 - V hebrejskom je to trochu zmenené:"Ak sa niekomu dobre vodí,i nepriateľ sa mu prihlási za priateľa."
Sir 12,11 - V gréckom texte sa nám zachovalo takéto pokračovanie myšlienky:"Chovaj sa k nemu ako ten, kto utiera zrkadlo,a poznáš, že neprestane hrdzavieť." Kedysi miesto zrkadla užívali vyleštený kov. Zmysel je: Nespúšťaj ho z očí.
Sir 12,18-19 - Niekdajší tvoj priateľ nezahanbí sa, keď sa dostaví prvý k tvojej skaze, aby sa ti vysmial a aby ťa potupoval. – "Šuškať" vo význame: zlorečiť, preklínať.
