Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 23:3

ὅπως μὴ πληθύνωσιν αἱ ἄγνοιαί μου καὶ αἱ ἁμαρτίαι μου πλεονάσωσι καὶ πεσοῦμαι ἔναντι τῶν ὑπεναντίων καὶ ἐπιχαρεῖταί μοι ὁ ἐχθρός μου;
King James Version (KJV)

Lest mine ignorances increase, and my sins abound to my destruction, and I fall before mine adversaries, and mine enemy rejoice over me, whose hope is far from thy mercy.

Modern English

lest my mistakes multiply, and my sins increase to my ruin, and I fall before my enemies, and my foe rejoice over me, whose hope is far from your mercy.
