Sirach 25:1-3
Common English Bible
Things to be praised
25 My whole being takes pleasure
in three things,
and these are beautiful to the Lord
and to human beings:
harmony among brothers and sisters,
friendship among neighbors,
and a wife and husband
who adapt to each other.
2 My whole being despises
three types of persons,
and I am angered by the way they live:
an arrogant poor person,
a rich liar,
an old adulterer who never learns.
3 If you have gathered nothing
in your youth,
how then will you find anything
in your old age?
