Sirach 2:2
Douay-Rheims
Humble thy heart, and endure: incline thy ear, and receive the words of understanding: and make not haste in the time of clouds.
George Leo Haydock
Humble. Greek, “regulate thy heart, and endure, and make not haste in the time of trouble,” (Haydock) inflicted by God. (Grotius) — But not impatient, Isaias xxviii. 16. — Clouds. Literally, “overcast,” obductionis. (Haydock) — Desire not death, in order to be covered from the miseries of life; for that would (Worthington) border on despair. (Haydock)
