Sirach 34:14-18 World English Bible (WEB)

14. Whoso fears the Lord shall not be afraid, and shall not play the coward; For he is his hope.

15. Blessed is the soul of him that fears the Lord: To whom does he give heed? and who is his stay?

16. The eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, A mighty protection and strong stay, A cover from the hot blast, and a cover from the noonday, A guard from stumbling, and a succour from falling.

17. He raises up the soul, and enlighteneth the eyes: He gives healing, life, and blessing.

18. He that sacrifices of a thing wrongfully gotten, his offering is made in mockery; And the mockeries of wicked men are not well-pleasing.
