Sirach 3:31
King James VersionSource notes
“And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay.”
Context
28In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy; for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.
29The heart of the prudent will understand a parable; and an attentive ear is the desire of a wise man.
30Water will quench a flaming fire; and alms maketh an atonement for sins.
31And he that requiteth good turns is mindful of that which may come hereafter; and when he falleth, he shall find a stay.
