Ben Sira 2:12-14
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
12 Woe to timid hearts and drooping hands,[a]
to the sinner who walks a double path!
13 Woe to the faint of heart! For they do not trust,
and therefore have no shelter!
14 Woe to you that have lost hope!
what will you do at the Lord’s visitation?
