Sirach 35:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Those whose service is pleasing to the Lord will be accepted,
and their prayers will reach to the clouds.
21 The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds,
and it will not rest until it reaches its goal;
it will not desist until the Most High responds(A)
22 and does justice for the righteous and executes judgment.
Indeed, the Lord will not delay,
and like a warrior[a] he will not be patient
until he crushes the loins of the unmerciful(B)
