Sirach 16:8-12 World English Bible (WEB)

8. He spared not those with whom Lot sojourned, Whom he abhorred for their pride.

9. He pitied not the people of perdition, Who were taken away in their sins.

10. And in like manner the six hundred thousand footmen, Who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.

11. Even if there be one stiff-necked person, It is marvel if he shall be unpunished: For mercy and wrath are with him; He is mighty to forgive, and he pours out wrath.

12. As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: He judges a man according to his works.
