24
that He would confirm His mercy with us, and deliver us at His time!
25
There are two manner of nations which my heart abhorreth, and the third is no nation:
26
they that sit upon the mountain of Samaria, and they that dwell among the Philistines, and that foolish people that dwell in Shechem.

Jesus the son of Sirach of Jerusalem hath written in this book the instruction of understanding and knowledge, who out of his heart poured forth wisdom.
