Sirach 31:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ The poor man hath laboured in his low way of life, and in the end he is still poor.

⁵ He that loveth gold, shall not be justified: and he that followeth after corruption, shall be filled with it.

⁶ Many have been brought to fall for gold, and the beauty thereof hath been their ruin.
