Ecclesiasticus 18:23 Context

²⁰Before judgment examine thyself, and in the day of visitation thou shalt find mercy. ²¹Humble thyself before thou be sick, and in the time of sins shew repentance. ²²Let nothing hinder thee to pay thy vow in due time, and defer not until death to be justified. ²³Before thou prayest, prepare thyself; and be not as one that tempteth the Lord. ²⁴Think upon the wrath that shall be at the end, and the time of vengeance, when he shall turn away his face. ²⁵When thou hast enough, remember the time of hunger: and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and need. ²⁶From the morning until the evening the time is changed, and all things are soon done before the Lord.
