Sirach 2:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ How terrible it will be for the timid heart.
Because it doesn’t trust,
    therefore it won’t be protected.
¹⁴ How terrible it will be for you
who have lost your stamina.
    What will you do when the Lord comes for his inspection?

¹⁵ Those who fear the Lord
won’t disobey his words,
    and those who love him
    will keep his ways.
