Sirach 2:14
Print
How terrible it will be for you who have lost your stamina. What will you do when the Lord comes for his inspection?
Woe to them that are of a double heart and to wicked lips, and to the hands that do evil, and to the sinner that goeth on the earth two ways.
Doom is sure to come for those who lose their hope. What will they do when the Lord comes to judge them?
Woe to you that have lost hope! what will you do at the Lord’s visitation?
Woe to you who have forsaken patience; what will you do at the coming of the Lord?
Woe to you who have lost your nerve! What will you do when the Lord’s reckoning comes?
Woe to you who have lost your nerve! What will you do when the Lord’s reckoning comes?
Woe to you who have lost your nerve! What will you do when the Lord’s reckoning comes?
Woe to you who have lost patience! What will you do when the Lord’s reckoning comes?
Woe to you who have lost your endurance! What will you do when the Lord punishes you?
Woe to you who have lost your endurance! What will you do when the Lord punishes you?
Woe to them that have lost patience, and that have forsaken rightful ways, and have turned away into shrewd (or depraved) ways. And what shall they do, when the Lord shall begin to behold (upon them)? [Woe to them that have lost suffering, and that have forsaken right ways, and have turned aside into shrewd ways. And what shall they do, when the Lord shall begin to inwardly look?]
