Sirach 47:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁸ In the name of the Lord God,
    who is called the God of Israel,
you gathered gold like tin
    and amassed silver like lead.^(A)
19 But you brought in women to lie at your side,
    and through your body you were brought into subjection.^(B)
20 You stained your honor
    and defiled your family line,
so that you brought wrath upon your children,
    and they were grieved^[a] at your folly,
