Sirach 17:23-25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ Afterward he will arise and requite them,
    and he will bring their recompense on their heads.
²⁴ Yet to those who repent he grants a return,
    and he encourages those whose endurance is failing.

²⁵ Turn to the Lord and forsake your sins;
    pray in his presence and lessen your offenses.
