1 My child, when you come to serve the Lord,prepare yourself for trials.
2 Be sincere of heart and steadfast,and do not be impetuous in time of adversity.
3 Cling to him, do not leave him,that you may prosper in your last days.
4 Accept whatever happens to you;in periods of humiliation be patient.
5 For in fire gold is tested,and the chosen, in the crucible of humiliation.
6 Trust in God, and he will help you;make your ways straight and hope in him.
