Sirach 2:3
Print
Hold fast to God and don’t keep your distance from him, so that you may find strength at your end.
Wait on God with patience: join thyself to God, and endure, that thy life may be increased in the latter end.
Stay with the Lord; never abandon him, and you will be prosperous at the end of your days.
Cling to him, do not leave him, that you may prosper in your last days.
Cling to him and do not forsake him, so that your final days will be blessed.
Cling to him and do not depart, so that your last days may be prosperous.
Cling to him and do not depart, so that your last days may be prosperous.
Cling to him and do not depart, so that your last days may be prosperous.
Cling to him and do not depart, so that your last days may be prosperous.
Cleave to him and do not depart, that you may be honored at the end of your life.
Cleave to him and do not depart, that you may be honored at the end of your life.
Suffer thou the sustainings of God; be thou joined to God, and abide thou, (so) that thy life wax, (or grow, or increase) in the last time.
