Sirach 22:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² So also a fearful heart in the imagination of a fool shall not resist against the violence of fear.

²³ As a fearful heart in the thought of a fool at all times will not fear, so neither shall he that continueth always in the commandments of God.

²⁴ He that pricketh the eye, bringeth out tears: and he that pricketh the heart, bringeth forth resentment.
