Sirach 16:12-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

12 Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement;
    he judges people according to their deeds.(A)
13 The sinner will not escape with plunder,
    and the patience of the godly will not be frustrated.
14 He makes room for every act of almsgiving;
    everyone receives in accordance with his or her deeds.[a](B)
