Sirach 23:20-22
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
20 Before the universe was created, it was known to him,
and so it is since its completion.(A)
21 This man will be punished in the streets of the city,
and where he least suspects it he will be seized.(B)
22 So it is with a woman who leaves her husband
and presents him with an heir by another man.
