Wisdom of Ben Sira 35:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ until he has requited each one according to his deeds
    and repaid his works as his intentions deserve,
²⁵ until he has rendered justice to his people
    and disposed them to rejoice in his mercy.
²⁶ His mercy is as welcome in a time of affliction
    as rain clouds in a time of drought.
