Sirach 33:1-4 Common English Bible (CEB)

1. Those who fear the Lordwon’t encounter evil,but when they are testedthey will be delivered again and again.

2. Wise people won’t hate the Law,but those who are hypocrites about itare like a boat in a storm.

3. Sensible people will trust the Lord’s word;for them, the Law is as trustworthyas divine oracles.

4. Prepare your speech,and then you will be heard;draw upon your training,and give an answer.
