Ben Sira 16:12

12 As great as his mercy, so great is also his reproof; he judges a man according to his deeds.

Ben Sira 16:12 In-Context

10 nor for the six hundred thousand men on foot, who rebelliously assembled in their stubbornness.
11 Even if there is only one stiff-necked person, it will be a wonder if he remains unpunished. For mercy and wrath are with the Lord; he is mighty to forgive, and he pours out wrath.
12 As great as his mercy, so great is also his reproof; he judges a man according to his deeds.
13 The sinner will not escape with his plunder, and the patience of the godly will not be frustrated.
14 He will make room for every act of mercy; every one will receive in accordance with his deeds.
