30 Take you no indignation at them which are deemed worse than beasts; but love them that have always put their trust in your glory.
31 For we and our fathers have passed our lives in ways that bring death: but you because of us sinners are called merciful.
32 For if you have a desire to have mercy upon us, then shall you be called merciful, to us, namely, that have no works of righteousness.
33 For the just, which have many good works laid up with you, shall for their own deeds receive reward.
34 For what is man, that you should take displeasure at him? or what is a corruptible race, that you should be so bitter toward it?
35 For in truth there is no man among them that be born, but he has dealt wickedly; and among them that have lived there is none which have not done amiss.
36 For in this, O Lord, your righteousness and your goodness shall be declared, if you be merciful to them which have no store of good works.
