Sirach 47:18-20
Revised Standard Version
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.
19 But you laid your loins beside women,
and through your body you were brought into subjection.
20 You put a stain upon your honor,
and defiled your posterity,
so that you brought wrath upon your children
and they were grieved[a] at your folly,
