Sirach 18:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ He hath mercy, and teacheth, and correcteth, as a shepherd doth his flock.

¹⁴ He hath mercy on him that receiveth the discipline of mercy, and that maketh haste in his judgments.

¹⁵ My son, in thy good deeds, make no complaint, and when thou givest any thing, add not grief by an evil word.
