Sirach 18:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ Neighbors display mercy
toward each other,
    but the mercy of the Lord is for all beings:
        he corrects, instructs, teaches,
        and turns them back,
        as a shepherd does his flock.
¹⁴ He shows mercy to those
who accept discipline
    and to those who passionately pursue
    his judgments.
