Ben Sira 25:1-2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Chapter 25
Those Who Are Worthy of Praise
1 [a]With three things I am delighted,
for they are pleasing to the Lord and to human beings:
Harmony among relatives, friendship among neighbors,
and a wife and a husband living happily together.
2 Three kinds of people I hate,
and I loathe their manner of life:
A proud pauper, a rich liar,
and a lecherous old fool.
Footnotes
- 25:1–2 A numerical saying in threes.
