Sirach 5:4-6
Revised Standard Version
Sirach 5:4-6
Revised Standard Version
4 Do not say, “I sinned, and what happened to me?”
for the Lord is slow to anger.
5 Do not be so confident of atonement
that you add sin to sin.
6 Do not say, “His mercy is great,
he will forgive[a] the multitude of my sins,”
for both mercy and wrath are with him,
and his anger rests on sinners.
