Ben Sira 16:14

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

Ben Sira 16:14 In-Context

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.

16 Say not: I shall be hidden from God. and who shall remember me from on high?
