Sirach 14:2
Print
Happy are those whose spirit hasn’t condemned them, and who haven’t given up their hope.
Happy is he that hath had no sadness of his mind, and who is not fallen from his hope.
If a person has a clear conscience and never gives up hope, he is certainly to be congratulated!
Happy are those whose conscience does not reproach them, those who have not lost hope.
Blessed is the man whose conscience does not reproach him and who has never lost hope.
Happy are those whose hearts do not condemn them, and who have not given up their hope.
Happy are those whose hearts do not condemn them, and who have not given up their hope.
Happy are those whose hearts do not condemn them, and who have not given up their hope.
Happy are those whose hearts do not condemn them and who have not given up their hope.
Blessed is he whose heart does not condemn him, and who has not given up his hope.
Blessed is he whose heart does not condemn him, and who has not given up his hope.
He is blessed, that hath not sorrow of (or in) his soul, and falleth not down from his hope. [Happy, or blessed, that had not sorrowy sloth of his inwit, and falleth not away from his hope.]
