Sirach 16:13DRA
Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 13 of 31
"According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works."
In context
11So did he with the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their heart: and if one had been stiffnecked, it is a wonder if he had escaped unpunished:
12For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation:
13According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works.
14The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off.
15All mercy shall make a place for every man according to the merit of his works, and according to the wisdom of his sojournment.
