Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 5:4

μὴ εἴπῃς, ἥμαρτον, καὶ τί μοι ἐγένετο; ὁ γὰρ Κύριός ἐστι μακρόθυμος.
King James Version (KJV)

Say not, I have sinned, and what harm hath happened unto me? for the Lord is longsuffering, he will in no wise let thee go.

Modern English

Do not say, I have sinned, and nothing happened to me, for the Lord is patient — but he will not let you go forever.
