Sirach 51:8 CPDV

⁶  from the oppression of the flames that surrounded me, and so I was not burned in the midst of the fire,

⁷  from the depths of the bowels of hell, and from the defiled tongue, and from lying words, from an iniquitous king, and from an unjust tongue.

⁸  My soul shall praise the Lord, even unto death.

⁹  For my life was drawing near to hell below.

¹⁰  And they surrounded me on every side. And there was no one who would help me. I looked around for the assistance of men, and there was none.
