Sirach 23:16-18
Common English Bible
On sex
16 Two types of people multiply sins,
and a third will bring wrath.
A hot temperament that burns like fire
will never be quenched until it is spent.
People who are promiscuous
with their kin
will never stop until the fire burns out.
17 To promiscuous people all bread is sweet;
they don’t become weary until they die.
18 There are people
who violate their marriage bed,
saying to themselves, Who will see me?
Darkness envelops me;
the walls hide me;
no one will see me.
Why do I have a care?
The Most High
will never recall my sins.
