This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.

Don’t rely on wealth or take forgiveness for granted

Sir 5:1–8

5 Don’t set your heart upon your goods.

Don’t say, “They are sufficient for me.”

2 Don’t follow your own mind and your strength

to walk in the desires of your heart.

3 Don’t say, “Who will have dominion over me?”

for the master will surely take vengeance on you.


4 Don’t say, “I sinned, and what happened to me?”

for the master is patient.

5 Don’t be so confident of atonement

that you add sin upon sins.

6 Don’t say, “His compassion is great.

He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins,”

for mercy and wrath are with him,

and his indignation will rest on sinners.

7 Don’t wait to turn to the master.

Don’t put off from day to day;

for suddenly the wrath of the master will come on you,

and you will perish in the time of vengeance.


8 Don’t set your heart upon unrighteous gains,

for you will profit nothing in the day of calamity.
