Bible (DRV) Apocrypha/Deuterocanon: Wisdom of Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

by Douay-Rheims Version

The Book of Ecclesiasticus, also known as the Wisdom of Sirach, is a collection of wisdom sayings and reflections attributed to the Jewish scribe Jesus ben Sirach. Written in the 2nd century BCE, it offers practical advice on living a virtuous life according to the laws of God. The text is divided into two main sections: the first focusing on the importance of wisdom, piety, and ethical conduct in daily life, while the second explores God's wisdom manifested in creation and the history of Israel's righteous figures. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of wisdom, virtue, and God's guidance in navigating the complexities of human existence.
