Sirach 2:5-7

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁵For gold is tested in the fire,
and those found acceptable, in the furnace of humiliation.^[a]
⁶Trust in him, and he will help you;
make your ways straight, and hope in him.

⁷You who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy;
do not stray, or else you may fall.
