Ecclesiasticus 9:4

“Use not much the company of a woman that is a singer, lest thou be taken with her attempts.”
King James Version (KJV)

Why is Ecclesiasticus shown with the King James Bible?

Other Translations of Ecclesiasticus 9:4

Use not much the companie of a woman that is a singer, least thou be taken with her attempts.
- King James Version (1611) - Compare to scan of original Ecclesiasticus chapter 9

Use not much the company of her that is a dancer, and hearken not to her, lest thou perish by the force of her charms.
- Douay Rheims Bible

Ecclesiastes 9:5

"For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not any thing, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten."

King James Version (KJV)

Also another name for the book of Ecclesiasticus is the book of Sirach. Same book.

Don 't get confused with books. One book is called Ecclesiastes and the other book is called Ecclesiasticus. Two different books in the Old Testament.

As a follower of Jesus Christ, My Heavenly Father God, there is no book name Ecclesiasticus in the Holy Bible (King James Version). This was originated by the Roman Catholics. Also called Book of Sirach. In Deuteronomy 4:2, Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

I have checked this scripture in almost every translation, including King James Version. After hearing about it, sad to say that I did find such a scripture it is however in a apocryptic book called Sirag.

I never saw or heard of this Book Ecclesiastes, I have Ecclesiastes......not in my King James Version...Was it written by one of the Apostles? Not the same context in New World Translation or my King James....Who did write it and when?
