20 LIBER IESU FILII SIRACH Syrach - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Ecclesiasticus - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
27Potior fur quam assiduitas viri mendacis: perditionem autem ambo hæreditabunt. Stewardship of Wisdom. Sir.20.27-31
28Mores hominum mendacium sine honore, et confusio illorum cum ipsis sine intermissione.  
29Sapiens in verbis producet seipsum, et homo prudens placebit magnatis.  
30Qui operatur terram suam inaltabit acervum frugum, et qui operatur justitiam, ipse exaltabitur: qui vero placet magnatis effugiet iniquitatem.  
31Xenia et dona excæcant oculos judicum, et quasi mutus, in ore avertit correptiones eorum.  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
