Sirach 21:9
Print
A gathering of lawless people is the same as bundled flax; their end is a flaming fire.
He that buildeth his house at other men's charges, is as he that gathereth himself stones to build in the winter.
A group of people who have no respect for the Law is like a pile of kindling; they will meet a fiery end.
A band of criminals is like a bundle of tow; they will end in a flaming fire.
A band of the wicked is like a bundle of fibers; it will end in a blazing fire.
An assembly of the wicked is like a bundle of tow, and their end is a blazing fire.
An assembly of the wicked is like a bundle of tow, and their end is a blazing fire.
An assembly of the wicked is like a bundle of tow, and their end is a blazing fire.
An assembly of the lawless is like a bundle of tinder, and their end is a blazing fire.
An assembly of the wicked is like tow gathered together, and their end is a flame of fire.
An assembly of the wicked is like tow gathered together, and their end is a flame of fire.
Sheaves or stubble, [or flax top(s)], gathered together is the synagogue of sinners; and the ending of them is the flame of fire.
