Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 22:16

In 4 translations

KJV
As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.
WEB
Timber girded and bound into a building will not be released with shaking. So a heart established in due season on well advised counsel will not be afraid.
DRC22:19
A frame of wood bound together in the foundation of a building, shall not be loosed: so neither shall the heart that is established by advised counsel. The thought of him that is wise at all times, shall not be depraved by fear. As pales set in high places, and plasterings made without cost, will not stand against the face of the wind:
LXXE
As timber girt and bound together in a building cannot be loosed with shaking: so the heart that is stablished by advised counsel shall fear at no time.
