Sirach 33:19 CPDV

¹⁷  I, too, have hoped in the blessing of God. And I have filled the winepress like one who gathers grapes.

¹⁸  Consider how I have not labored for myself alone, but for all who are seeking discipline.

¹⁹  Listen to me, you great ones, with all the peoples. And incline your ears, you rulers of the Church.

²⁰  You should not give authority over yourself to a son or wife, to a brother or friend, in your life. And you should not give your estate to another, lest perhaps you may regret it, and then you would be begging for the same.

²¹  While you are still living and breathing, let no one among all flesh change you.
