Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 35:17

προσευχὴ ταπεινοῦ νεφέλας διῆλθε, καὶ ἕως συνεγγίσῃ, οὐ μὴ παρακληθῇ· καὶ οὐ μὴ ἀποστῇ, ἕως ἐπισκέψηται ὁ Ὓψιστος. καὶ κρινεῖ δικαίως καὶ ποιήσει κρίσιν.
King James Version (KJV)

The prayer of the humble pierceth the clouds: and till it come nigh, he will not be comforted; and will not depart, till the most High shall behold to judge righteously, and execute judgment.

Modern English

The prayer of the humble pierces the clouds, and it will not rest until it arrives, and it will not leave off until the Most High looks and judges rightly and executes justice.
