    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.
