Wisdom of Ben Sira 2:17-18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁷ Those who fear the Lord keep their heart prepared
    and humble themselves before him.
¹⁸ Let us fall into the hands of the Lord
    and not into the hands of men.
For equal to his majesty
    is the mercy that he exhibits.
    [And his works are in keeping with his name.]^[a]
