Sirach 23:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
17 To a fornicator all bread is sweet;
he will never weary until he dies.
18 One who sins against his marriage bed
says to himself, ‘Who can see me?
Darkness surrounds me, the walls hide me,
and no one sees me. Why should I worry?
The Most High will not remember sins.’
19 His fear is confined to human eyes
and he does not realize that the eyes of the Lord
are ten thousand times brighter than the sun;
they look upon every aspect of human behaviour
and see into hidden corners.
