Sirach 5:3-7 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

3. And you should not say: "How powerful am I?" or, "Who will cast me down because of my deeds?" For God will vindicate with vengeance.

4. You should not say, "I sinned, and what grief has befallen me?" For the Most High is a patient recompensor.

5. Do not be willing to be without fear concerning a forgiven sin, and you should not add sin upon sin.

6. And you should not say: "The compassion of the Lord is great; he will take pity on the multitude of my sins."

7. For both mercy and wrath go forth quickly from him, and his wrath sets its gaze upon sinners.
