Wisdom of Ben Sira 40:12-14
New Catholic Bible
What Passes Away and What Remains[a]
12 All bribery and injustice will be blotted out,
but good faith will stand forever.
13 That wealth whose source is wickedness will dry up like a river
and vanish as quickly as a clap of thunder during a storm.
14 As the righteous man rejoices in opening his hands,
so transgressors will come to ruin.
