Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 15:11

μὴ εἴπῃς ὅτι διὰ Κύριον ἀπέστην· ἃ γὰρ ἐμίσησεν, οὐ ποιήσεις.
King James Version (KJV)

Say not thou, It is through the Lord that I fell away: for thou oughtest not to do the things that he hateth.

Modern English

Do not say, "The Lord made me go astray" — for you should not do the things he hates.
