Ben Sira 40:13

13 The wealth of the unjust will dry up like a river, and crash like a loud clap of thunder in a storm.

Ben Sira 40:13 In-Context

11 All that is of earth returns to earth, and what is from above returns above.

12 All bribery and injustice will be blotted out, but good faith will last forever.

13 The wealth of the unjust will dry up like a river, and crash like a loud clap of thunder in a storm.

14 As a generous person has cause to rejoice, so lawbreakers will utterly fail.

15 The children of the ungodly put out few branches; they are unhealthy roots on sheer rock.
