Sirach 35:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴     until he repays individuals
    according to their deeds
    and the works of human beings
    according to their thoughts,
²⁵     until he decides the case of his people
        and makes them glad by his mercy.
²⁶ His mercy is timely in a period
of distress,
    like rain clouds in a dry season.
