Sirach 21:3-5

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³ The teeth thereof are the teeth of a lion, killing the souls of men.

⁴ All iniquity is like a two-edged sword, there is no remedy for the wound thereof.

⁵ Injuries and wrongs will waste riches: and the house that is very rich shall be brought to nothing by pride: so the substance of the proud shall be rooted out.
