Sirach 21:7-9
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 The mighty in speech are widely known;
when they slip, the sensible person knows it.
8 Those who build their houses with other people’s money
are like those who gather stones for their own burial mounds.(A)
9 An assembly of the lawless is like a bundle of tinder,
and their end is a blazing fire.(B)
