Sirach 34:28

28 One person builds,

Sirach 34:28 In-Context

26 Whoever takes away a neighbor's living commits murder,

27 and whoever deprives a worker of wages sheds blood. and another tears down; what have they gained other than hard work?

28 One person builds,

29 One person prays, and another person curses; to whose voice will the master listen?

30 When people bathe after touching a corpse and touch it again, what have they gained by washing?
