Wisdom of Ben Sira 7:15-17
New Catholic Bible
15 Do not shun laborious tasks
or farming, an occupation ordained by the Most High.
16 Do not attach yourself to the ranks of sinners;
remember that retribution will not tarry.
17 Humble yourself to the greatest possible degree,
for the godless will suffer the punishment of fire and worms.[a]
