Sirach 23:17

Listen to Sirach 23:17
17 To promiscuous people all bread is sweet; they don't become weary until they die.

Sirach 23:17 In-Context

15 People who are accustomed to reproachful words will never learn anything their whole life.
16 Two types of people multiply sins, and a third will bring wrath. A hot temperament that burns like fire will never be quenched until it is spent. People who are promiscuous with their kin will never stop until the fire burns out.
17 To promiscuous people all bread is sweet; they don't become weary until they die.
18 There are people who violate their marriage bed, saying to themselves, Who will see me? Darkness envelops me; the walls hide me; no one will see me. Why do I have a care? The Most High will never recall my sins.
19 They fear human eyes, but they are unaware that the eye of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun; they observe all the ways of human beings and look into hidden places
