Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752

Ecclesiasticus 12:1-4 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. IF thou do good, know to whom thou dost it, and there shall be much thanks for thy good deeds.

2. Do good to the just, and thou shalt find great recompense: and if not of him, assuredly of the Lord.

3. For there is no good for him that is always occupied in evil, and that giveth no alms: for the Highest hateth sinners, and hath mercy on the penitent.

4. Give to the merciful and uphold not the sinner: God will repay vengeance to the ungodly and to sinners, and keep them against the day of vengeance.
