Ben Sira 16:13

13 According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works.

Ben Sira 16:13 In-Context

11 So did he with the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their heart: and if one had been stiffnecked, it is a wonder if he had escaped unpunished:

12 For mercy and wrath are with him. He is mighty to forgive, and to pour out indignation:

13 According as his mercy is, so his correction judgeth a man according to his works.

14 The sinner shall not escape in his rapines, and the patience of him that sheweth mercy shall not be put off.

15 All mercy shall make a place for every man according to the merit of his works, and according to the wisdom of his sojournment.
