Sirach 2:7 CPDV

⁵  For gold and silver are tested in fire, yet truly, acceptable men are tested in the furnace of humiliation.

⁶  Believe God, and he will restore you to health. And straighten your way, and hope in him. Observe his fear, and grow old in it.

⁷  You who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy. And do not turn away from him, lest you fall.

⁸  You who fear the Lord, believe in him. And your reward will not be taken away.

⁹  You who fear the Lord, hope in him. And mercy will approach you, to your delight.
