Sirach 18:13 CPDV

¹¹  Therefore, he has bestowed his forgiveness on them, and he has revealed to them the way of equity.

¹²  The compassion of man is toward those closest to him. But the mercy of God is upon all flesh.

¹³  He is merciful, and he teaches and corrects, like a shepherd with his flock.

¹⁴  He takes pity on those who accept the doctrine of compassion, and he applies his judgments promptly.

¹⁵  Son, in your good works, you should not complain, and in giving anything, you should not cause grief with evil words.
