In context
6And say not, His mercy is great; He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: For mercy and wrath come from him, And his indignation resteth upon sinners.
7Make no tarrying to turn to the Lord, And put not off from day to day: For suddenly shall the wrath of the Lord come forth, And in thy security thou shalt be destroyed, And perish in the day of vengeance.
— Sirach 5:8 —
9Winnow not with every wind, And go not into every way: For so doth the sinner that hath a double tongue.
10Be steadfast in thy understanding; And let thy word be the same.
