Sirach 16:10-12

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁰ or on the six hundred thousand foot soldiers
    who assembled in their stubbornness.^[a](A)
11 Even if there were only one stiff-necked person,
    it would be a wonder if he remained unpunished.
For mercy and wrath are with the Lord;^[b]
    he acquits and forgives,^[c] but he also pours out wrath.^(B)
12 Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement;
    he judges people according to their deeds.^(C)
