Ecclesiasticus 5:8 Context
6And say not, His mercy is great, hee will be pacified for the multitude of my sinnes: for mercy and wrath come from him, and his indignation resteth vpon sinners. 7Make no tarying to turne to the Lord, and put not off from day to day: for suddenly shal the wrath of the Lord come foorth, and in thy securitie thou shalt be destroyed, and perish in the day of vengeance. 8Set not thy heart vpon goods vniustly gotten: for they shall not profit thee in the day of calamitie. 9Winnow not with euery winde, and goe not into euery way: for so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue. 10Be stedfast in thy vnderstanding, and let thy word be the same.
