Sirach 17:20

¹⁸Whom, being his firstborn, he nourisheth with discipline, and giving him the light of his love doth not forsake him.

¹⁹Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.

— Sirach 17:20 —

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

²²The 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.
