Ben Sira 50:27 In-Context

25 There are two nations that I detest, and a third that does not even deserve to be called a nation.
26 These are the Edomites, the inhabitants of the Philistine cities, and the stupid Samaritans.
27 I, Jesus son of Sirach Eleazar of Jerusalem, put all my wisdom into writing this book to provide instruction and knowledge for others.
28 May God bless everyone who gives attention to these teachings. Whoever takes them to heart will become wise.
29 Whoever lives by them will be strong enough for any occasion, because he will be walking in the light of the Lord.
