Sirach 47:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic 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.
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,
