Sirach 16:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works.

¹⁴ The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off.

¹⁵ All mercy shall make a place for every man according to the merit of his works, and according to the wisdom of his sojournment.
