Sirach 5:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³ and say thou not, As I might, either who shall make me subject for my deeds? For why God (a)venging shall (a)venge. [and not say thou, What manner might I, or who me shall subject for my deeds? God forsooth venging shall venge.]

⁴ Say thou not, I have sinned, and what sorrowful thing befell to me? For the Highest is a patient yielder.

⁵ Of the forgiveness of sins, do not thou be without dread, neither heap thou, [or lay thou], sin upon sin.
