Sirach 47:19-21
Common English Bible
19 You gave yourself to women,[a]
and you were subdued
by your own body.
20 You brought disgrace on your honor,
and you polluted your offspring,
so that you brought punishment
upon your children
and caused pain
because of your foolishness.
21 Your empire became divided,
and a rival kingdom sprang up
out of Ephraim.
