Sirach 18:13-15

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹³ The compassion of man is for his neighbor,
    but the compassion of the Lord is for all living beings.
He rebukes and trains and teaches them,
    and turns them back, as a shepherd his flock.
¹⁴ He has compassion on those who accept his discipline
    and who are eager for his judgments.

¹⁵ My son, do not mix reproach with your good deeds,
    nor cause grief by your words when you present a gift.
