Sirach 17:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ Afterward he will rise up and repay them,
    and he will bring their recompense on their heads.
²⁴ Yet to those who repent he grants a return,
    and he encourages those who are losing hope.

²⁵ Turn back to the Lord and forsake your sins;
    pray in his presence and lessen your offense.
