Sirach 18:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Let nothing hinder thee from praying always, and be not afraid to be justified even to death: for the reward of God continueth for ever.

²³ Before prayer prepare thy soul: and be not as a man that tempteth God.

²⁴ Remember the wrath that shall be at the last day, and the time of repaying when he shall turn away his face.
