Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

The Providence of God

¹⁴He who fears the Lord will accept his discipline,
    and those who rise early to seek him^[a] will find favor.
¹⁵He who seeks the law will be filled with it,
    but the hypocrite will stumble at it.
¹⁶Those who fear the Lord will form true judgments,
    and like a light they will kindle righteous deeds.
