Ben Sira 2:11-17 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

11. For the Lord is compassionate and merciful;forgives sins and saves in time of trouble.

12. Woe to timid hearts and drooping hands,to the sinner who walks a double path!

13. Woe to the faint of heart! For they do not trust,and therefore have no shelter!

14. Woe to you that have lost hope!what will you do at the Lord’s visitation?

15. Those who fear the Lord do not disobey his words;those who love him keep his ways.

16. Those who fear the Lord seek to please him;those who love him are filled with his law.

17. Those who fear the Lord prepare their heartsand humble themselves before him.
