Sirach 30:19-21
Common English Bible
19 Of what use is an offering of fruit
to an idol?
It can’t eat or smell.
The person whom the Lord punishes
is like this,
20 looking with the eyes and groaning
like a eunuch who embraces
a young woman and groans.[a]
21 Don’t let grief take you over,
and don’t distress yourself on purpose.
