Sirach 47:20

Listen to Sirach 47:20
20 You brought disgrace on your honor, and you polluted your offspring, so that you brought punishment upon your children and caused pain because of your foolishness.

Sirach 47:20 In-Context

18 In the Lord God's name, who is called God over Israel, you collected gold like tin, and you amassed silver like lead.
19 You gave yourself to women, and you were subdued by your own body.
20 You brought disgrace on your honor, and you polluted your offspring, so that you brought punishment upon your children and caused pain because of your foolishness.
21 Your empire became divided, and a rival kingdom sprang up out of Ephraim.
22 But the Lord will never abandon his mercy, and none of his words will perish. He will never wipe out the descendants of his chosen one, and never take away the descendants of the one who loved him. Therefore, he gave a remnant to Jacob and a root to David from his family.
