Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 34:16

οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ Κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς ἀγαπῶντας αὐτόν· ὑπερασπισμὸς δυναστείας καὶ στήριγμα ἰσχύος, σκέπη ἀπὸ καύσωνος καὶ σκέπη ἀπὸ μεσημβρίας, φυλακὴ ἀπὸ προσκόμματος καὶ βοήθεια ἀπὸ πτώσεως,
King James Version (KJV)

For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and an help from falling.

Modern English

For the eyes of the Lord are on those who love him; he is their mighty protection and firm support, a shelter from the heat, a shade from the noonday sun, a guard against stumbling, and a help against falling.
