Sirach 35:22-26 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

22. And the Lord will not delay, and he will judge for those who are just, and he will accomplish judgment. And the Almighty will not have patience with them, so that he may crush their back.

23. And he will repay vengeance to the Gentiles, until he has taken away the multitude of the arrogant, and broken the scepters of the iniquitous,

24. until he has rendered to men according to their deeds, and according to the works of Adam, and according to his presumption,

25. until he has judged the judgment of his people. And he will delight the just with his mercy.

26. The mercy of God is beautiful in the time of tribulation, like a rain cloud in the time of drought.
