Sirach 23:17-19
Common English Bible
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.
19 They fear human eyes,
but they are unaware
that the eyes of the Lord
are ten thousand times brighter
than the sun;
they observe all the ways
of human beings
and look into hidden places.
