Sirach 4:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 If they remain faithful, they will inherit her;
their descendants will also obtain her.
17 For at first she will walk with them in disguise;
she will bring fear and dread upon them
and will torment them by her discipline
until she trusts them,[a]
and she will test them with her ordinances.(A)
18 Then she will come straight back to them again and gladden them
and will reveal her secrets to them.
