Wisdom of Ben Sira 17:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 Almsgiving is like a signet ring to him,
and he cherishes kindness like the apple of his eye.
[He apportions repentance to his sons and daughters.][a]
23 In the end, he will rise up and repay the wicked,
bringing down retribution on their heads.
24 But to those who repent he allows a return,
and he encourages those who have lost hope.
