Ben Sira 15:11

11 Do not say, "Because of the Lord I left the right way"; for he will not do what he hates.

Ben Sira 15:11 In-Context

9 A hymn of praise is not fitting on the lips of a sinner, for it has not been sent from the Lord.

10 For a hymn of praise should be uttered in wisdom, and the Lord will prosper it.

11 Do not say, "Because of the Lord I left the right way"; for he will not do what he hates.

12 Do not say, "It was he who led me astray"; for he had no need of a sinful man.

13 The Lord hates all abominations, and they are not loved by those who fear him.
