Ben Sira 47:20

Listen to Ben Sira 47:20
20 You stained your reputation and that of your descendants. They suffered punishment for that foolishness of yours, which caused them so much grief.

Ben Sira 47:20 In-Context

18 You gathered silver and gold as if it were tin or lead, all in the name of the Lord God of Israel.
19 But your lust for women was your downfall.
20 You stained your reputation and that of your descendants. They suffered punishment for that foolishness of yours, which caused them so much grief.
21 It divided the nation, and a rival kingdom arose in northern Israel.
22 But the Lord will always be merciful and keep all his promises. He will never destroy the descendants of David, whom he chose and who loved him. So for Israel's sake he allowed David's family to survive.
