Sirach 32:14-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

14. Lightning goes before a hailstorm, and grace goes before modesty. And so, for your reverence, good graces will be added to you.

15. And at the hour for rising, you should not be lax. Later, be the first to run ahead to your house, and there withdraw, and there take your pastime.

16. And act according to your intentions, but not in sin and not in arrogant speech.

17. And for all these things, bless the Lord, who made you, and who fills you to overflowing with all his good things.
