Sirach 17:21-25

1. 21 But the Lord being gracious and knowing his workmanship, neither left nor forsook them, but spared them.

2. 22 The alms of a man is as a signet with him, and he will keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the eye, and give repentance to his sons and daughters.

3. 23 Afterwards he will rise up and reward them, and render their recompence upon their heads.

4. 24 But unto them that repent, he granted them return, and comforted those that failed in patience.

5. 25 Return unto the Lord, and forsake thy sins, make thy prayer before his face, and offend less.
