Sirach 19:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

19 A workman that is a drunkard shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things, shall fall by little and little.

² Wine and women make wise men fall off, and shall rebuke the prudent.

³ And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number.
