Sirach 21:7-9
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
7 The mighty in speech are widely known;
when they slip, the sensible person knows it.
8 Whoever builds his house with other people’s money
is like one who gathers stones for his burial mound.[a]
9 An assembly of the wicked is like a bundle of tow,
and their end is a blazing fire.
