Sirach 16:11-13

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Even if there were only one stiff-necked person,
    it would be a wonder if he remained unpunished.
For mercy and wrath are with the Lord;^[a]
    he is mighty to forgive—but he also pours out wrath.
¹² Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement;
    he judges a person according to his or her deeds.
¹³ The sinner will not escape with plunder,
    and the patience of the godly will not be frustrated.
