Sirach 28:20-22

Wycliffe Bible

²⁰ For why the yoke thereof is an iron yoke, and the bond thereof is a brazen bond.

²¹ The death thereof is the worst death; and hell is more profitable, that is, the pain of hell is less evil, than it.

²² The perseverance thereof shall not dwell, but it shall hold the ways of unjust men; in his flame it shall not burn just men. [The steadfastness of it shall not abide still, but shall hold the ways of unrightwise men; in his flame he shall not burn rightwise men.]
