Ben Sira 19:2 In-Context

1 If you do, you will never get rich; if you don't pay attention to small matters, you will gradually ruin yourself.

2 Wine and women make sensible men do foolish things. A man who goes to prostitutes gets more and more careless,

3 and that carelessness will cost him his life. Worms will feed on his decaying body.

4 It is silly to trust people too quickly. If you sin, you are hurting yourself.

5 If wickedness makes you happy, you will be condemned.
