Sirach 27:1-3
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
27 Many have committed sin for gain,[a]
and those who seek to get rich will avert their eyes.(A)
2 As a stake is driven firmly into a fissure between stones,
so sin is wedged in between selling and buying.(B)
3 If a person is not steadfast in the fear of the Lord,
his house will be quickly overthrown.(C)
