Sirach 2:9-11
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
9 You who fear the Lord, hope for good things,
for lasting joy and mercy.[a]
10 Consider the generations of old and see:
has anyone trusted in the Lord and been disappointed?
Or has anyone persevered in the fear of the Lord[b] and been forsaken?
Or has anyone called upon him and been neglected?
11 For the Lord is compassionate and merciful;
he forgives sins and saves in time of distress.
