Ben Sira 40:8 In-Context

6 We get little rest, if any at all. When we sleep, it is as if we were awake, disturbed by our imaginations. If we dream that we are running from an enemy,

7 just as we are about to be caught, we wake up and are relieved to find there is nothing to be afraid of.

8 Here is what all creatures, both human and animal, must face (but it is seven times worse for sinners):

9 death, violence, conflict, murder, disaster, famine, sickness, epidemic.

10 All these things were created because of the wicked; they are the ones who have caused destruction.
