Sirach 17:22-24
Common English Bible
22 A person’s acts of charity
are like a seal with him,
and he will treasure a person’s generosity like the apple of his eye.[a]
23 Afterward God will rise up
and repay them;
he will deliver their repayment
upon their heads.
24 However, for those who changed their hearts and minds, God granted a way back, and he encouraged those
who were abandoning hope.
