Sirach 27:3-5
Common English Bible
3 If people don’t remain mindful
of the respect due the Lord,
their houses will be quickly overthrown.
4 When a sieve is shaken,
rubbish remains behind;
so in the process of reasoning,
a person’s flaws appear.
5 A kiln tests a potter’s jars,
and decision making tests a person.
