Sirach 47:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁷For your songs, proverbs, parables,
    and understanding the nations marveled at you.^(A)
¹⁸In the name of the Lord God,
    who is called the God of Israel,
you gathered gold like tin
    and amassed silver like lead.^(B)
¹⁹But you brought in women to lie at your side,
    and through your body you were brought into subjection.^(C)
