Sirach 17:23-25

Common English Bible

²³ Afterward God will rise up
and repay them;
    he will deliver their repayment
    upon their heads.
²⁴ However, for those who changed their hearts and minds, God granted a way back, and he encouraged those
who were abandoning hope.

²⁵ Turn back to the Lord
and leave sin behind;
    offer prayers in his presence,
    and reduce your offense.
