Sirach 16:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
10 or on the six hundred thousand foot soldiers
who assembled in their stubbornness.[a]
11 Even if there were only one stiff-necked person,
it would be a wonder if he remained unpunished.
For mercy and wrath are with the Lord;[b]
he is mighty to forgive—but he also pours out wrath.
12 Great as is his mercy, so also is his chastisement;
he judges a person according to his or her deeds.
