Sirach 2:9-11

Wycliffe Bible

⁹ Ye that dread the Lord, hope into him, and mercy shall come to you into delighting. [Ye that dread the Lord, hopeth into him, and into liking shall come to you mercy.]

¹⁰ Ye that dread the Lord, love him, and your hearts shall be lightened or enlightened. Sons, behold ye the nations of men, and know ye, that no man hoped in the Lord, and was shamed (or was confounded); none dwelled [or abode still] in his behests (or in his commandments), and was forsaken; either who inwardly called him, and he despised him?

¹¹ For why God is piteous (or compassionate), and merciful, and he shall forgive sins in the day of tribulation; and he is (the) defender to (or of) all men, that seek him in truth.
