Sirach 5:4-6
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
4 Do not say, ‘I sinned, yet what has happened to me?’
for the Lord is slow to anger.
5 Do not be so confident of forgiveness[a]
that you add sin to sin.
6 Do not say, ‘His mercy is great,
he will forgive[b] the multitude of my sins’,
for both mercy and wrath are with him,
and his anger will rest on sinners.
