Sirach 5:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Do not delay to turn back to the Lord,
and do not postpone it from day to day,
for suddenly the wrath of the Lord will come forth,
and at the time of punishment you will perish.(A)
8 Do not rely on dishonest wealth,
for it will not benefit you on the day of calamity.(B)
9 Do not winnow in every wind
or follow every path.[a]
