Ben Sira 16:11-21

11 And if there be one stiff-necked among the people, it is a marvel if he escape unpunished. For mercy and wrath are with Him; He is mighty to forgive and to pour out displeasure.
12 As His mercy is great, so is His correction also; He judgeth a man according to his works.
13 The sinner shall not escape with his spoils, and the patience of the godly shall not be frustrated.
14 Make way for every work of mercy, for every man shall find according to his works.
15 The Lord hardened Pharaoh, that he should not know Him, that His powerful works might be known to the world.
16 His mercy is manifest to every creature, and He hath separated His light from the darkness with an adamant.
17 Say not thou, "I will hide myself from the Lord. Shall any remember me from above? I shall not be remembered among so many people, for what is my soul among such an infinite number of creatures?
18 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens, the deep, and the earth, and all that therein is, shall be moved when He shall visit.
19 The mountains also and foundations of the earth shall be shaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh upon them.
20 No heart can think upon these things worthily; and who is able to conceive His ways?
21 It is a tempest which no man can see, for the most part of His works are hid.
