Ben Sira 32:14 In-Context

12 Amuse yourself there to your heart's content, but do not sin through proud speech.

13 But above all bless your Maker, who fills you with his good gifts.

14 The one who seeks God will accept his discipline, and those who rise early to seek him will find favor.

15 The one who seeks the law will be filled with it, but the hypocrite will stumble at it.

16 Those who fear the Lord will form true judgments, and they will kindle righteous deeds like a light.
