Sirach 18:11-13

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹¹ That is why the Lord is patient with them
    and pours out his mercy upon them.
¹² He sees and recognizes that their end is miserable;
    therefore he grants them forgiveness all the more.
¹³ The compassion of human beings is for their neighbours,
    but the compassion of the Lord is for every living thing.
He rebukes and trains and teaches them,
    and turns them back, as a shepherd his flock.
