Sirach 2:2
Set your heart straight, be steadfast, and don’t act hastily in a time of distress.
Humble thy heart, and endure: incline thy ear, and receive the words of understanding: and make not haste in the time of clouds.
Be sincere and determined. Keep calm when trouble comes.
Be sincere of heart and steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of adversity.
Be sincere of heart and steadfast, and do not be alarmed when confronted with adversity.
Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of calamity.
Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of calamity.
Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of calamity.
Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of calamity.
Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be hasty in time of calamity.
Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be hasty in time of calamity.
Bear down thine heart, and suffer, and bow down thine ear, and take the words of understanding, and haste thou not into the time of death. [Bear down thine heart, and suffer, and bow in thine ear, and undertake the words of understanding, and hie thou not in time of oppressing.]
