Ecclesiasticus 35 - Revised Version with Apocrypha 1885, 1895(RV1895)

1 when she poureth out her tale.

15Do not the tears of the widow run down her cheek?

And is not her cry against him that hath caused them to fall?

16He that serveth God according to his good pleasure shall be accepted,

And his supplication shall reach unto the clouds.

17The prayer of the humble righteously, and execute judgement.

18And the Lord 2 Pet. 3.9.will not be slack, Cp. ch. 18.11.neither will he be longsuffering toward them,

Till he have Cp. Deut. 33.11.crushed the loins of the unmerciful;

And he shall repay vengeance to the heathen;

Till he have taken away the multitude of the haughty,

And Is. 14.5.broken in pieces the sceptres of the unrighteous;

19 See Job 34.11. Till he have rendered to every man according to his doings,

And to the works of men according to their devices;

Till he have judged the cause of his people;

And he shall make them to rejoice in his mercy.

20 Cp. Is. 49.13. Mercy is seasonable in the time of his afflicting them,

Hos. 6.3. As clouds of rain in the time of drought.
