Sirach 18:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ Prepare yourself before making
a solemn promise,
    and don’t be like someone
    who tests the Lord.
²⁴ Be mindful of his wrath in times of death
    and in times of vengeance
    when he turns his face away.
²⁵ Remember a time of hunger
in a time of plenty,
    a time of poverty and want
    in times of wealth.
