Sirach 27:3

3 If people don't remain mindful of the respect due the Lord, their houses will be quickly overthrown.

Sirach 27:3 In-Context

1 Many have sinned because of money, and whoever seeks to get more will turn a blind eye.
2 A stake is driven between cracks in stones, and sin will be wedged between selling and buying.
3 If people don't remain mindful of the respect due the Lord, their houses will be quickly overthrown.
4 When a sieve is shaken, rubbish remains behind; so in the process of reasoning, a person's flaws appear.
5 A kiln tests a potter's jars, and decision making tests a person.
