Sirach 18:13-15

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ The compassion of human beings is for their neighbors,
    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.
¹⁴ He has compassion on those who accept his discipline
    and who are eager for his precepts.

¹⁵ My child, do not mix reproach with your good deeds,
    or spoil your gift by harsh words.
