Septuagint, Ecclesiasticus (Siracides), 22.15-22.16
nan Sand, salt, and a piece of iron are easier to bear than a stupid man.
nan A man accustomed to use insulting words will never become disciplined all his days.
nan A wooden beam firmly bonded into a building will not be torn loose by an earthquake;so the mind firmly fixed on a reasonable counsel will not be afraid in a crisis.
nan Two sorts of men multiply sins,and a third incurs wrath. The soul heated like a burning fire will not be quenched until it is consumed;a man who commits fornication with his near of kin will never cease until the fire burns him up.
