Sirach 2:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Humble thy heart, and endure: incline thy ear, and receive the words of understanding: and make not haste in the time of clouds.

³ Wait on God with patience: join thyself to God, and endure, that thy life may be increased in the latter end.

⁴ Take all that shall be brought upon thee: and in thy sorrow endure, and in thy humiliation keep patience.
