Ecclesiasticus 30:18-22 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

18. Good things that are hidden in a mouth that is shut, are as masses of meat set about a grave.

19. What good shall an offering do to an idol? for it can neither eat, nor smell:

20. So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:

21. He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.

22. Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.
