Sirach 17:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ And know the justices and judgments of God, and stand firm in the lot set before thee, and in prayer to the most high God.

²⁵ Go to the side of the holy age, with them that live and give praise to God.

²⁶ Tarry not in the error of the ungodly, give glory before death. Praise perisheth from the dead as nothing.
