Sirach 5:4-6

Wycliffe Bible

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.

⁶ And say thou not, The merciful doing of God is great; he shall have mercy on the multitude of my sins. For why mercy and ire nigheth (or approacheth) soon from him, and his ire beholdeth on sinners. [And say thou not, The mercy of God is great; of the multitude of my sins he shall have mercy. Mercy forsooth and wrath from him soon nigheth (or approacheth), and into sinners beholdeth the wrath of him.]
