Sirach 39:31
These things gladly do what he commands. They will be ready for his service on the earth, and they won’t violate his word when their time comes.
The principal things necessary for the life of men, are water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and bread of flour, and honey, and the cluster of the grape, and oil, and clothing.
They are all glad to obey the Lord's command and are ready to serve him here on earth. When their times of duty come, they never disobey.
When he commands them, they rejoice, in their assigned tasks they do not disobey his command.
all of them delight in his commandment, always prepared for his service on the earth, and when their time comes, they never disobey his commands.
They take delight in doing his bidding, always ready for his service on earth; and when their time comes they never disobey his command.’
They take delight in doing his bidding, always ready for his service on earth; and when their time comes they never disobey his command.’
They take delight in doing his bidding, always ready for his service on earth; and when their time comes they never disobey his command.”
They take delight in doing his bidding, always ready for his service on earth, and when their time comes they never disobey his command.”
they will rejoice in his commands, and be made ready on earth for their service, and when their times come they will not transgress his word.
they will rejoice in his commands, and be made ready on earth for their service, and when their times come they will not transgress his word.
In the commandments of him, those shall eat, and those shall be made ready on the earth, in need; and in their times those shall not (over-)pass one word. [In the behests of him they shall plenteously eat, and upon the earth in need they shall be prepared; and in their times they shall not pass beside a word.]
