Sirach 47:17-19

Revised Standard Version

¹⁷ For your songs and proverbs and parables,
    and for your interpretations, the countries marveled at you.
¹⁸ In the name of the Lord God,
    who is called the God of Israel,
you gathered gold like tin
    and amassed silver like lead.
¹⁹ But you laid your loins beside women,
    and through your body you were brought into subjection.
