Ben Sira 3:15

15 In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.

Ben Sira 3:15 In-Context

13 And if his understanding fail, have patience with him; and despise him not when thou art in thy full strength.
14 For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten, and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up.
15 In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.
16 He that forsaketh his father is as a blasphemer, and he that angereth his mother is cursed by God.
17 My son, go on with thy business in meekness; so shalt thou be beloved by him that is approved.
