Ben Sira 2:13-18 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

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.

18. Let us fall into the hands of the Lordand not into the hands of mortals,For equal to his majesty is his mercy;and equal to his name are his works.
