Sirach 6:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 Do not fall into the grip of passion,[a]
or you may be torn apart as by a bull.[b]
3 Your leaves will be devoured and your fruit destroyed,
and you will be left like a withered tree.(A)
4 Strong passion[c] destroys those who have it
and makes them the laughingstock of their enemies.(B)
