Ben Sira 40:10

10 these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.

Ben Sira 40:10 In-Context

8 Such things happen unto all flesh, both man and beast, and that is sevenfold more upon sinners.

9 Death and bloodshed, strife and sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge--

10 these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.

11 All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth again, and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea.

12 All bribery and injustice shall be blotted out, but true dealing shall endure for ever.
