Sirach 19:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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.

⁴ He that is hasty to give credit, is light of heart, and shall be lessened: and he that sinneth against his own soul, shall be despised.
