Sirach 18:23-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 Before making a vow, prepare yourself;
do not be like one who puts the Lord to the test.(A)
24 Think of his wrath on the day of death
and of the moment of vengeance when he turns away his face.(B)
25 In the time of plenty think of the time of hunger;
in days of wealth think of poverty and need.(C)
