Sirach 21:9

9 A gathering of lawless people is the same as bundled flax; their end is a flaming fire.

Sirach 21:9 In-Context

7 Those who are powerful in speech are widely known, but those who are thoughtful know when they slip.

8 Those who build their houses with another person's money are like those who gather stones for their own burial mound.

9 A gathering of lawless people is the same as bundled flax; their end is a flaming fire.

10 The path of sinners is made level with stones, but its end is the pit of hell.

11 Those who keep the Law become masters of their thoughts; fearing the Lord leads ultimately to wisdom.
