Sirach 18:11-13

Revised Standard Version

¹¹ Therefore the Lord is patient with them
    and pours out his mercy upon them.
¹² He sees and recognizes that their end will be evil;
    therefore he grants them forgiveness in abundance.
¹³ The compassion of man is for his neighbor,
    but the compassion of the Lord is for all living beings.
He rebukes and trains and teaches them,
    and turns them back, as a shepherd his flock.
