Sirach 2:16-18
Revised Standard Version
16 Those who fear the Lord will seek his approval,
and those who love him will be filled with the law.
17 Those who fear the Lord will prepare their hearts,
and will humble themselves before him.
18 Let us fall[a] into the hands of the Lord,
but not into the hands of men;
for as his majesty is,
so also is his mercy.
