Sirach 32:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁵ Whoever seeks the Law
will be filled with it,
    but the hypocrite will stumble over it.
¹⁶ Those who fear the Lord
will discover his decree,
    and they will kindle righteous deeds
    like a lamp.
¹⁷ Sinful people turn away from correction;
    they will look for a judgment
    that suits them.
