Sirach 21:1-3
Common English Bible
On sin
21 My child, if you have sinned,
don’t do it any longer,
and pray concerning your previous sins.
2 Run away from sin
like you would from a snake:
If you go near it, it will bite you.
Its teeth are lion’s teeth,
destroying a person’s life.
3 All lawlessness is a two-edged sword,
and there’s no healing for its wound.
