Sirach 34:19 CPDV

¹⁷  The soul of him who fears the Lord is blessed.

¹⁸  To whom should he look, and who is his strength?

¹⁹  The eyes of the Lord are upon those who fear him. He is a powerful Protector, a Firmament of virtue, a Shelter from the heat, and a Covering from the midday sun,

²⁰  a Guardian from offenses, and a Helper from falling, who exalts the soul and illuminates the eyes, and who gives health and life and blessing.

²¹  An immolation from iniquity is a stained oblation, and the derisions of the unjust are not well pleasing.
