Ecclesiasticus 18:12-13; Psalm 1:1
The compassion of man is toward his neighbour; but the mercy of God is upon all flesh. He hath mercy, and teacheth and correcteth, as a shepherd doth his flock. Ps. Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly nor stood in the way of sinners, nor sat in the chair of pestilence. Glory be to the Father.
