1 My son, if thy mind is to enter the Lord’s service, wait there in his presence, with honesty of purpose and with awe, and prepare thyself to be put to the test. 2 Submissive be thy heart, and ready to bear all; to wise advice lend a ready ear, and be never hasty when ill times befall thee. 3 Wait for God, cling to God and wait for him; at the end of it, thy life shall blossom anew. 4 Accept all that comes to thee, patient in sorrow, humiliation long enduring; 5 for gold and silver the crucible, it is in the furnace of humiliation men shew themselves worthy of his acceptance. 6 Trust in him, and he will lift thee to thy feet again; go straight on thy way, and fix in him thy hope; hold fast thy fear of him, and in that fear to old age come thou. ~Sirach 2:1-6
