Sirach 2
- 1 Son, when thou comest to the service of God, stand in justice and in fear, and prepare thy soul for temptation.
- 2 Humble thy heart, and endure: incline thy ear, and receive the words of understanding: and make not haste in the time of clouds.
- 3 Wait on God with patience: join thyself to God, and endure, that thy life may be increased in the latter end.
- 4 Take all that shall be brought upon thee: and in thy sorrow endure, and in thy humiliation keep patience.
- 5 For gold and silver are tried in the fire, but acceptable men in the furnace of humiliation.
- 6 Believe God, and he will recover thee: and direct thy way, and trust in him. Keep his fear, and grow old therein.
- 7 Ye that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy: and go not aside from him lest ye fall.
- 8 Ye that fear the Lord, believe him: and your reward shall not be made void.
- 9 Ye that fear the Lord hope in him, and mercy shall come to you for your delight.
- 10 Ye that fear the Lord, love him, and your hearts shall be enlightened.
- 11 My children behold the generations of men: and know ye that no one hath hoped in the Lord, and hath been confounded.
- 12 For who hath continued in his commandment, and hath been forsaken? or who hath called upon him, and he despised him?
- 13 For God is compassionate and merciful, and will forgive sins in the day of tribulation: and he is a protector to all that seek him in truth.
- 14 Woe to them that are of a double heart and to wicked lips, and to the hands that do evil, and to the sinner that goeth on the earth two ways.
- 15 Woe to them that are fainthearted, who believe not God: and therefore they shall not be protected by him.
- 16 Woe to them that have lost patience, and that have forsaken the right ways, and have gone aside into crooked ways.
- 17 And what will they do, when the Lord shall begin to examine?
- 18 They that fear the Lord, will not be incredulous to his word: and they that love him, will keep his way.
- 19 They that fear the Lord, will seek after the things that are well pleasing to him: and they that love him, shall be filled with his law.
- 20 They that fear the Lord, will prepare their hearts, and in his sight will sanctify their souls,
- 21 They that fear the Lord, keep his commandments, and will have patience even until his visitation,
- 22 Saying: If we do not penance, we shall fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men.
- 23 For according to his greatness, so also is his mercy with him.
