Wisdom of Ben Sira 27:1-3
New Catholic Bible
Chapter 27
1 Many have sinned for the sake of monetary gain;
he who seeks riches must turn a blind eye.
2 As a peg is driven firmly into the joint between stones,
so the sin of dishonesty will wedge itself in between selling and buying.
3 Unless a man holds firmly to the fear of the Lord,
his house will be quickly overthrown.
