Ben Sira 50:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Epilogue
25 My whole being loathes two nations,
the third is not even a people:[a]
26 The inhabitants of Seir[b] and Philistia,
and the foolish people who dwell in Shechem.(A)
27 Wise instruction, appropriate proverbs,[c]
I have written in this book—
I, Yeshua Ben Eleazar Ben Sira—
as they poured forth from my heart’s understanding.
