Ben Sira 7:17

17 Humble thy soul greatly, for the vengeance against the ungodly is fire and worms.

Ben Sira 7:17 In-Context

15 Hate not laborious work, neither husbandry, which the Most High hath ordained.

16 Number not thyself among the multitude of sinners, but remember that wrath will not tarry long.

17 Humble thy soul greatly, for the vengeance against the ungodly is fire and worms.

18 Exchange not a friend for any goods by no means, neither a faithful brother for the gold of Ophir.

19 Forgo not a wise and good woman, for her grace is above gold.
