14
Woe to you who have lost your nerve! What will you do when the Lord's reckoning comes?
15
Those who fear the Lord do not disobey his words, and those who love him keep his ways.
16
Those who fear the Lord seek to please him, and those who love him are filled with his law.
17
Those who fear the Lord prepare their hearts, and humble themselves before him.
18
Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, but not into the hands of mortals; for equal to his majesty is his mercy, and equal to his name are his works.
