Sirach 5:1-4
-
1 Set thy heart upon thy goods; and say not, I have enough for my life.
-
2 Follow not thine own mind and thy strength, to walk in the ways of thy heart:
-
3 And say not, Who shall controul me for my works? for the Lord will surely revenge thy pride.
-
4 Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.
