Sirach 21:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ Anyone who borrows money to build a house is just collecting stones for his own tomb.^[a]

⁹ A group of people who have no respect for the Law is like a pile of kindling; they will meet a fiery end. ¹⁰ The road that sinners walk is smooth and paved, but it leads to the world of the dead.
