Sirach 17:24

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.

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

— Sirach 17:24 —

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

²⁶Turn again to the most High, and turn away from iniquity: for he will lead thee out of darkness into the light of health, and hate thou abomination vehemently.
