Ben Sira 3:26

26 A stubborn heart shall fare evilly at the last, and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.

Ben Sira 3:26 In-Context

24 For many are deceived by their own vain opinion, and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgment.

25 Without eyes thou shalt lack light; profess not the knowledge therefore that thou hast not.

26 A stubborn heart shall fare evilly at the last, and he that loveth danger shall perish therein.

27 An obstinate heart shall be laden with sorrows, and the wicked man shall heap sin upon sin.

28 In the punishment of the proud there is no remedy, for the plant of wickedness hath taken root in him.
