Sirach 2:16 In-Context

14 How terrible it will be for you who have lost your stamina. What will you do when the Lord comes for his inspection?

15 Those who fear the Lord won't disobey his words, and those who love him will keep his ways.

16 Those who fear the Lord will try to please him, and those who love him will be fully occupied with observing the Law.

17 Those who fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and they will humble themselves before him.

18 May we fall into the hands of the Lord and not into the hands of human beings, because his mercy is equal to his greatness.
