Sirach 51: 12- 20

51:12 For you rescue those who persevere for you, O Nkosi, and you free them from the hands of the Gentiles.

51:13 You exalted my habitation upon the earth, and I made supplication that death would pass away.

51:14 Ngabiza uJehova, the Father of my Lord, so that he would not abandon me in the day of my tribulation, nor in the time of arrogance without assistance.

51:15 I will praise your name unceasingly, and I will praise it with thanksgiving, for my prayer was heeded.

51:16 And you freed me from perdition, and you rescued me from the time of iniquity.

51:17 Ngenxa yalokhu, I will give thanks and praise to you, and I will bless the name of the Lord.

51:18 When I was still young, before I wandered astray, I sought wisdom openly in my prayer.

51:19 I asked for her before the temple, and even to the very end, I will inquire after her. And she flourished like a newly-ripened grape.

51:20 My heart rejoiced in her. My feet walked in the right path. From my youth, I pursued her.
