It is not Wise to Judge

December 6, 2018 //  by Shannon Kelly

Eight Sunday after the Epiphany, Year C, Old Testament
Scripture: Sirach 27:4-7

These words come from the Apocrypha from Sirach also known as Ecclesiasticus. Written by Jeshua be Eleazar be Sira in Alexandria, Egypt in the second century BCE, Sirach gives us wise phrases much like the book of Proverbs. Today’s passage is about judging strangers by their words (and actions) rather than trusting them outright. Without developing xenophobia, we might choose to pay more attention to the wisdom of our words and the fruits of our actions.
