Thanks for the reference, but it has no books with Sir, so I'm still lost...

Sirach is also known as Ecclesiasticus. There are a few other discrepancies like that, e.g. there are four Kings instead of two Solomon and two Kings.

Sir. 16:12-14

12 For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation:
13 According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works.
14 The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off.

Sir. 35:19

19 For from the cheek they go up even to heaven, and the Lord that heareth will not be delighted with them.
