Sirach 13:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ His cruel mind will lay up thy words: and he will not spare to do thee hurt, and to cast thee into prison.

¹⁶ Take heed to thyself, and attend diligently to what thou hearest: for thou walkest in danger of thy ruin.

¹⁷ When thou hearest those things, see as it were in sleep, and thou shalt awake.
