Sirach 47:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 But you brought in women to lie at your side,
and through your body you were brought into subjection.(A)
20 You stained your honor
and defiled your family line,
so that you brought wrath upon your children,
and they were grieved[a] at your folly,
21 because the sovereignty was divided
and a rebel kingdom arose out of Ephraim.(B)
