Sirach 16:12-14
Common English Bible
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.
14 He will make allowance
for every act of charity;
everyone will receive their just reward.[a]
Footnotes
- Sirach 16:14 LXXb adds 16:15–16 The Lord hardened Pharaoh so that he didn’t know him, so that God’s works would be known everywhere under heaven. His mercy is evident to all creation, and his light and darkness he allotted to Adam.
