Sirach 35:24-26

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁴ until he repays mortals according to their deeds,
    and the works of all according to their thoughts;
²⁵ until he judges the case of his people
    and makes them rejoice in his mercy.
²⁶ His mercy is as welcome in time of distress
    as clouds of rain in time of drought.
