Sirach 32:13-24 World English Bible (WEB)

13. And for these things bless him that made you, And gives you to drink freely of his good things.

14. He that fears the Lord will receive his discipline; And they that seek him early shall find favor.

15. He that seeks the law shall be filled therewith: But the hypocrite shall stumble thereat.

16. They that fear the Lord shall find judgement, And shall kindle righteous acts as a light.

17. A sinful man shunneth reproof, And will find a judgement according to his will.

18. A man of counsel will not neglect a thought; A strange and proud man will not crouch in fear, Even after he has done a thing by himself without counsel.

19. Do nothing without counsel; And when you have once done, repent not.

20. Go not in a way of conflict; And stumble not in stony places.

21. Be not confident in a smooth way.

22. And beware of your own children.

23. In every work trust your own soul; For this is the keeping of the commandments.

24. He that believes the law gives heed to the commandment; And he that trusts in the Lord shall suffer no loss.
