I've read Ecclesiasticus 32:1-4 as political, practical today. Yes I think you could reference toward any meetings. It's always amazing to me how GOD's Word is teaching & moving hearts & our thoughts with practical useful information today even though written many ages before.
Hello . I'm thinking that the reason that no one has answered your question yet might be because not everyone reads Ecclesiasticus because it's part of the apocrypha . Not everyone reads the apocrypha , so you might have to wait a little while to get your answer but I'm sure someone will respond eventually .
Do you constantly read and continuously read the 66 that are? God preserved the Bible the 66 books and adding to that well Rev 22:18&19 The Apocrypha Books are on this site and it's in there, plus the 1611 King James Bible Introduction and the Standard King James Bible Introduction. These will explain why the translators choose the books they choose and why.
The 1611 version on this site does. Ecclesiasticus 1, - hopefully will link you to it directly. If that doesn't top of page 1611 will bring you to Table of Contents page, if you scroll down you should find it: far right, bottom columns.
I have looked Ecclesiasticus 32:4. In my King James bible I can find this chapter. I have the old and the new King James bible and I can not find this chapter. I also have the complete Jewish bible it not there. I also looked in my Spanish bible I can not find this chapter. I download bible from web and they don't have this chapter. Where can I find a bible with this book?
Michael, Ecclesiasticus is what is considered an Apocryphal Book, i.e. a book amongst some other books that were not considered to be included in the Canon of Scripture. These intertestamental books were not accepted by the Jews & those who compiled the Scriptures we have now left them out because they failed certain tests applied to them. However, some Bibles, e.g. the Catholic Edition have some of those books in them and you can view the books on this Website, under "More" at the head of this page.
I first bumped into Ecclesiasticus 32:3, November, 2013. It Fascinated me to know mistakes that, leaders make; not only leaders, but, fathers, and heads of organizations, students, and the "everyday people".
It teaches you to be wise, “listen more”, and "speak less". I also realized, in the mist of highly knowledged people, don’t try to prove anything; you may not benefit from them, besides, you may not be suitable for the competitions that, awaits you. Play, "Mr. Fool”, and "gain wisdom!"
Then notice it says Ecclesiasticus 32:7-18, is in context, also saying " do not sin by proud speech"
Doesn't that point to another scripture Ecclesiastes 9:10, Deuteronomy 8:18,
it's GOD that gives us abilities
