Sirach 28:21-23

Wycliffe Bible

²¹ The death thereof is the worst death; and hell is more profitable, that is, the pain of hell is less evil, than it.

²² The perseverance thereof shall not dwell, but it shall hold the ways of unjust men; in his flame it shall not burn just men. [The steadfastness of it shall not abide still, but shall hold the ways of unrightwise men; in his flame he shall not burn rightwise men.]

²³ They that forsake God, shall fall into it; and it shall burn greatly in them, and it shall not be quenched; and as a lion it shall be sent into them [or it shall be sent into them as a lion], and as a (leo)pard it shall hurt them.
