Ecclesiasticus 36:17-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

17. Give testimony to them that are thy creatures from the beginning, and raise up the prophecies which the former prophets spoke in thy name.

18. Reward them that patiently wait for thee, that thy prophets may be found faithful: and hear the prayers of thy servants,

19. According to the blessing of Aaron over thy people, and direct us into the way of justice, and let all know that dwell upon the earth, that thou art God the beholder of all ages.

20. The belly will devour all meat, yet one is better than another.

21. The palate tasteth venison and the wise heart false speeches.

22. A perverse heart will cause grief, and a man of experience will resist it.

23. A woman will receive every man: yet one daughter is better than another.

24. The beauty of a woman cheereth the countenance of her husband, and a man desireth nothing more.
