Ben Sira 23:21

21 This man will be punished in the streets of the city, and where he least suspects it, he will be seized

Ben Sira 23:21 In-Context

19 His fear is confined to human eyes and he does not realize that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun; they look upon every aspect of human behavior and see into hidden corners

20 Before the universe was created, it was known to him, and so it is since its completion.

21 This man will be punished in the streets of the city, and where he least suspects it, he will be seized

22 So it is with a woman who leaves her husband and presents him with an heir by another man.

23 For first of all, she has disobeyed the law of the Most High; second, she has committed an offense against her husband; and third, through her fornication she has committed adultery and brought forth children by another man.
