Sirach 2:12-17 World English Bible (WEB)

12. Woe to fearful hearts, and to faint hands, And to the sinner that goes two ways!

13. Woe to the faint heart! for it believes not; Therefore shall it not be defended.

14. Woe to you that have lost your patience! And what will you⌃ do when the Lord shall visit you?

15. They that fear the Lord will not disobey his words; And they that love him will keep his ways.

16. They that fear the Lord will seek his good pleasure; And they that love him shall be filled with the law.

17. They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, And will humble their souls in his sight,
