Sirach 6:37

Early Christian Commentary - (A.D. 100 - A.D. 325)

Anf-01 ii.ii.xxiii Pg 3
Some regard these words as taken from an apocryphal book, others as derived from a fusion of Jas. i. 8and 2 Pet. iii. 3, 4.

Ye foolish ones! compare yourselves to a tree: take [for instance] the vine. First of all, it sheds its leaves, then it buds, next it puts forth leaves, and then it flowers; after that comes the sour grape, and then follows the ripened fruit. Ye perceive how in a little time the fruit of a tree comes to maturity. Of a truth, soon and suddenly shall His will be accomplished, as the Scripture also bears witness, saying, “Speedily will He come, and will not tarry;”100

Comp. Jas. i. 8.

as to whether a thing shall be or not. Thou shalt not take the name1693

1693 Cod. Sin. has “thy name,” but this is corrected as above.

of the Lord in vain. Thou shalt love thy neighbour more than thine own soul.1694

1694 Cod. Sin. corrects to, “as thine own soul.”

Thou shalt not slay the child by procuring abortion; nor, again, shalt thou destroy it after it is born. Thou shalt not withdraw thy hand from thy son, or from thy daughter, but from their infancy thou shalt teach them the fear of the Lord.1695

1695 Cod. Sin. has, “of God.”

Thou shalt not covet what is thy neighbour’s, nor shalt thou be avaricious. Thou shalt not be joined in soul with the haughty, but thou shalt be reckoned with the righteous and lowly. Receive thou as good things the trials1696

1696 “Difficulties,” or “troubles.”

which come upon thee.1697

1697 Cod. Sin. adds, “knowing that without God nothing happens.”

Thou shalt not be of double mind or of double tongue,1698

1698 Cod. Sin. has, “talkative,” and omits the following clause.

for a double tongue is a snare of death. Thou shalt be subject1699

1699 Cod. Sin. has, “Thou shalt be subject (ὑποταγήσῃ— untouched by the corrector) to masters as a type of God.”

to the Lord, and to [other] masters as the image of God, with modesty and fear. Thou shalt not issue orders with bitterness to thy maidservant or thy man-servant, who trust in the same [God1700

1701 Cod. Sin. has, “they should not.”

Comp. Jas. i. 6; 8.

in thy prayers; for blessed is he who doubteth not. For I believe in the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in His only-begotten Son, that God will show me, Hero, upon my throne. Add speed, therefore,1291

1291 Comp. Epistle to the Antiochians, chap. xii.

to thy course. I charge thee before the God of the universe, and before Christ, and in the presence of the Holy Spirit, and of the ministering ranks [of angels], keep in safety that deposit which I and Christ have committed to thee, and do not judge thyself unworthy of those things which have been shown by God [to me] concerning thee. I hand over to thee the Church of Antioch. I have commended you to Polycarp in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ps. i. 2.

that they may be adorned with good works: for this is the meaning of the ruminants. The unclean, however, are those which do neither divide the hoof nor ruminate; that is, those persons who have neither faith in God, nor do meditate on His words: and such is the abomination of the Gentiles. But as to those animals which do indeed chew the cud, but have not the double hoof, and are themselves unclean, we have in them a figurative description of the Jews, who certainly have the words of God in their mouth, but who do not fix their rooted stedfastness in the Father and in the Son; wherefore they are an unstable generation. For those animals which have the hoof all in one piece easily slip; but those which have it divided are more sure-footed, their cleft hoofs succeeding each other as they advance, and the one hoof supporting the other. In like manner, too, those are unclean which have the double hoof but do not ruminate: this is plainly an indication of all heretics, and of those who do not meditate on the words of God, neither are adorned with works of righteousness; to whom also the Lord says, “Why call ye Me Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say to you?”4504

Ps. i. 2.

It was not in severity that its Author promulgated this law, but in the interest of the highest benevolence, which rather aimed at subduing2923

2923 Edomantis, cf. chap. xv. sub fin. and xxix.

the nation’s hardness of heart, and by laborious services hewing out a fealty which was (as yet) untried in obedience:  for I purposely abstain from touching on the mysterious senses of the law, considered in its spiritual and prophetic relation, and as abounding in types of almost every variety and sort.  It is enough at present, that it simply bound a man to God, so that no one ought to find fault with it, except him who does not choose to serve God. To help forward this beneficent, not onerous, purpose of the law, the prophets were also ordained by the self-same goodness of God, teaching precepts worthy of God, how that men should “cease to do evil, learn to do well, seek judgment, judge the fatherless,2924
