Sirach 30:26 — all translations

Clementine Vulgate 1598

Zelus et iracundia minuunt dies, et ante tempus senectam adducet cogitatus.

and filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes. Consider that I laboured not for myself only, but for all them that seek learning.

Envy and anger shorten a man’s days, and pensiveness will bring old age before the time.

And filled my winepress like a gatherer of grapes. Consider that I labored not for myself only, But for all them that seek learning.

καὶ ὡς τρυγῶν ἐπλήρωσα ληνόν. Κατανοήσατε ὅτι οὐκ ἐμοὶ μόνῳ ἐκοπίασα, ἀλλὰ πᾶσι τοῖς ζητοῦσι παιδείαν.
