11My sons, consider the nations of men, and know that not one of them hoped in the Lord and was confounded.
12For who has remained in his commandment and been abandoned? Or who has called upon him, and yet he despised him?
13For God is upright and merciful, and he will forgive sins in the day of tribulation. And he is the Protector to all those who seek him in truth.
14Woe to the duplicitous heart, and to the wicked lips, and to the hands that do evil, and to the sinner who walks the earth by two ways!
15Woe to the dissolute in heart, who do not trust God! For, as a result, they will not be protected by him.
16Woe to those who have lost endurance, and who have abandoned upright ways, and who have turned aside to depraved ways!
17And what will they do when the Lord begins to examine them?
18Those who fear the Lord will not be unbelieving toward his Word. And those who love him will keep to his way.
19Those who fear the Lord will seek the things that are well-pleasing to him. And those who love him will be filled with his law.
20Those who fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and they will sanctify their souls in his sight.
21Those who fear the Lord keep his commandments, and they will have patience even until his examination,
22saying: “If we do not do penance, then we will fall into the hands of the Lord, and not into the hands of men.”
23For according to his greatness, so also is his mercy with him.
