Sirach 17:22-24
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
22 One’s almsgiving is like a signet ring with the Lord,[a]
and he will keep a person’s kindness like the apple of his eye.[b]
23 Afterwards he will rise up and repay them,
and he will bring their recompense on their heads.
24 Yet to those who repent he grants a return,
and he encourages those who are losing hope.
