Sirach 16:11-13

Common English Bible

¹¹ Even if there was one
stiff-necked person,
    it would be amazing
    if that one would go unpunished,
    because mercy and wrath are with him,
    the Lord who reconciles
    and who pours out wrath.
¹² His scrutiny is as severe
as his mercy is abundant;
    he will judge people
    according to their deeds.
¹³ A sinner won’t escape with plunder,
    and the endurance of the godly
    will never fail.
