Sirach 40:9 In-Context

7 They wake up at the most desperate moment and are astonished that they were afraid for nothing.

8 To all flesh, both human and animal, but to sinners seven times more so,

9 come death, blood, strife, sword, catastrophes, famine, ruin, and disease.

10 All these things were created for the lawless, and because of such people the flood happened.

11 Everything that's from earth; returns to the earth; everything that's from water returns to the sea.
