Ecclesiasticus 21:1-4 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. MY son, hast thou sinned? do so no more: but for thy former sins also pray that they may be forgiven thee.

2. Flee from sins as from the face of a serpent: for if thou comest near them, they will take hold of thee.

3. The teeth thereof are the teeth of a lion, killing the souls of men.

4. All iniquity is like a two-edged sword, there is no remedy for the wound thereof.
