Sirach 13:14
Print
Affect not to speak with him as an equal: and believe not his many words: for by much talk he will sift thee, and smiling will examine thee concerning thy secrets.
As long as you live, love the Lord and call on him to rescue you.
[ When you hear these things, awake from your sleep; as long as you live, love the Lord and pray to him for your salvation.]
In all thy life love thou God, and inwardly call thou him in thine health, that is, for thine health (or deliverance), (both) temporal and everlasting. [In all thy life love God, and inwardly call him in thine health.]
