Sirach 16:12
Print
His scrutiny is as severe as his mercy is abundant; he will judge people according to their deeds.
For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation:
His punishment is as severe as his mercy is great. He judges people by what they have done.
Great as his mercy is his punishment; he judges people, each according to their deeds.
As great as his mercy is his chastisement; he judges an individual according to his deeds.
Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement; he judges a person according to his or her deeds.
Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement; he judges a person according to his or her deeds.
Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement; he judges a person according to his or her deeds.
Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement; he judges people according to their deeds.
As great as his mercy, so great is also his reproof; he judges a man according to his deeds.
As great as his mercy, so great is also his reproof; he judges a man according to his deeds.
By his mercy, so is the chastising of each man; he is deemed by his works. [After his mercy, so the chastising of him; he deemeth a man after his works.]
