Sirach 33:2-4

Wycliffe Bible

² A wise man hateth not the commandments, and rightfulnesses; and he shall not be hurtled down, as in the tempest of a ship (or as a ship in a tempest).

³ A wise man believeth in the law of God, and the law is faithful to him.

⁴ He that maketh open asking, shall make ready [or shall prepare] a word; and so he shall pray, and shall be heard, and he shall keep (the) teaching, and then he shall answer.
