| 10.1. ודכה [יִדְכֶּה] יָשֹׁחַ וְנָפַל בַּעֲצוּמָיו חלכאים [חֵיל] [כָּאִים׃] 10.1. לָמָה יְהוָה תַּעֲמֹד בְּרָחוֹק תַּעְלִים לְעִתּוֹת בַּצָּרָה׃ 104.29. תַּסְתִּיר פָּנֶיךָ יִבָּהֵלוּן תֹּסֵף רוּחָם יִגְוָעוּן וְאֶל־עֲפָרָם יְשׁוּבוּן׃ | 10.1. Why standest Thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest Thou Thyself in times of trouble?" 104.29. Thou hidest Thy face, they vanish; Thou withdrawest their breath, they perish, And return to their dust." |

4. Septuagint, Ecclesiasticus (Siracides), 5.7, 10.26, 11.25-11.26, 18.15, 18.18, 18.20-18.22, 18.24-18.26, 22.23, 34.26, 37.4, 39.7-39.12, 40.24, 51.10, 51.12 (2nd cent. BCE - 2nd cent. BCE)
| 5.7. Do not delay to turn to the Lord,nor postpone it from day to day;for suddenly the wrath of the Lord will go forth,and at the time of punishment you will perish. 5.7. When you gain a friend, gain him through testing,and do not trust him hastily. 10.26. Do not make a display of your wisdom when you do your work,nor glorify yourself at a time when you are in want. 10.26. For it is easy in the sight of the Lord to reward a man on the day of death according to his conduct. 18.15. My son, do not mix reproach with your good deeds,nor cause grief by your words when you present a gift. 18.18. A fool is ungracious and abusive,and the gift of a grudging man makes the eyes dim. 18.21. Before falling ill, humble yourself,and when you are on the point of sinning, turn back. 18.22. Let nothing hinder you from paying a vow promptly,and do not wait until death to be released from it. 18.24. Think of his wrath on the day of death,and of the moment of vengeance when he turns away his face. 18.25. In the time of plenty think of the time of hunger;in the days of wealth think of poverty and need. 18.26. From morning to evening conditions change,and all things move swiftly before the Lord. 22.23. Gain the trust of your neighbor in his poverty,that you may rejoice with him in his prosperity;stand by him in time of affliction,that you may share with him in his inheritance. 22.23. For first of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High;second, she has committed an offense against her husband;and third, she has committed adultery through harlotry and brought forth children by another man. 34.26. So if a man fasts for his sins,and goes again and does the same things,who will listen to his prayer?And what has he gained by humbling himself? 37.4. Some companions rejoice in the happiness of a friend,but in time of trouble are against him. 39.7. He will direct his counsel and knowledge aright,and meditate on his secrets. 39.8. He will reveal instruction in his teaching,and will glory in the law of the Lords covet. 39.9. Many will praise his understanding,and it will never be blotted out;his memory will not disappear,and his name will live through all generations. 39.11. if he lives long, he will leave a name greater than a thousand,and if he goes to rest, it is enough for him. 39.12. I have yet more to say, which I have thought upon,and I am filled, like the moon at the full. 40.24. Brothers and help are for a time of trouble,but almsgiving rescues better than both. 51.12. for thou didst save me from destruction and rescue me from an evil plight. Therefore I will give thanks to thee and praise thee,and I will bless the name of the Lord. |
