Why is Ecclesiasticus shown with the King James Bible?
1 Hear me your father, O children, and do thereafter, that ye may be safe.
3 Whoso honoureth his father maketh an atonement for his sins:
4 And he that honoureth his mother is as one that layeth up treasure.
8 Honour thy father and mother both in word and deed, that a blessing may come upon thee from them.
10 Glory not in the dishonour of thy father; for thy father's dishonour is no glory unto thee.
12 My son, help thy father in his age, and grieve him not as long as he liveth.
17 My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved of him that is approved.
18 The greater thou art, the more humble thyself, and thou shalt find favour before the Lord.
19 Many are in high place, and of renown: but mysteries are revealed unto the meek.
20 For the power of the Lord is great, and he is honoured of the lowly.
23 Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.
25 Without eyes thou shalt want light: profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.
26 A stubborn heart shall fare evil at the last; and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.
27 An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows; and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin.
30 Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sins.
