Sirach 13:15
King James VersionSource notes
“Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his neighbor.”
Context
12But cruelly he will lay up thy words, and will not spare to do thee hurt, and to put thee in prison.
13Observe, and take good heed, for thou walkest in peril of thy overthrowing: when thou hearest these things, awake in thy sleep.
14Love the Lord all thy life, and call upon him for thy salvation.
15Every beast loveth his like, and every man loveth his neighbor.
16All flesh consorteth according to kind, and a man will cleave to his like.
17What fellowship hath the wolf with the lamb? so the sinner with the godly.
18What agreement is there between the hyena and a dog? and what peace between the rich and the poor?
