Sirach 33:1-6 World English Bible (WEB)

1. There shall no evil happen to him that fears the Lord; But in temptation once and again will he deliver him.

2. A wise man will not hate the law; But he that is a hypocrite therein is as a ship in a storm.

3. A man of understanding will put his trust in the law; And the law is faithful to him, as when one asks at the oracle.

4. Prepare your speech, and so shall you be heard; Bind up instruction, and make your answer.

5. The heart of a fool is as a cartwheel; And his thoughts like a rolling axle tree.

6. A stallion horse is as a mocking friend; He neighs under every one that sits upon him.
