I looked for it today b/c there is a recent Mass reading from that book, something that caught my attention.. and it was NOT there!
I was TICKED!!
major typo??
I know the book of Sirach is in most Catholic bibles.. have read it many times b4. So what gives???
:confused1:
Here it is from the internet:
NO WONDER MR ONCE-SAVED-ALWAYS-SAVED LUTHER THREW THIS BOOK OUT OF THE BIBLE!!!!
Do not say, “I have sinned, yet what has happened to me?”
for the LORD is slow to anger!
5
Do not be so confident of forgiveness
that you add sin upon sin.
6
Do not say, “His mercy is great;
my many sins he will forgive.”
For mercy and anger alike are with him;
his wrath comes to rest on the wicked.
7
Do not delay turning back to the LORD,
do not put it off day after day.
For suddenly his wrath will come forth;
at the time of vengeance, you will perish.
8
Do not rely on deceitful wealth,
for it will be no help on the day of wrath.
USE AND ABUSE OF THE TONGUE*
