Sirach 16:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ Even if there is only one stiff-necked person,
    it will be a wonder if he remains unpunished.
For mercy and wrath are with the Lord;^[a]
    he is mighty to forgive, and he pours out wrath.
¹² As great as his mercy, so great is also his reproof;
    he judges a man according to his deeds.
¹³ The sinner will not escape with his plunder,
    and the patience of the godly will not be frustrated.
