Ben Sira 26:26 In-Context

26 A man of was fainting through poverty: and a man of sense despised:

27 And he that passeth over from justice to sin, God hath prepared such an one for the sword.

28 Two sorts of callings have appeared to me hard and dangerous: a merchant is hardly free from negligence: and a huckster shall not be justified from the sins of the lips.
