Ben Sira 40:8

8 To all creatures, human and animal, but to sinners seven times more,

Ben Sira 40:8 In-Context

6 He gets little or no rest; he struggles in his sleep as he did by day. He is troubled by the visions of his mind like one who has escaped from the battlefield.

7 At the moment he reaches safety he wakes up, astonished that his fears were groundless.

8 To all creatures, human and animal, but to sinners seven times more,

9 come death and bloodshed and strife and sword, calamities and famine and ruin and plague.

10 All these were created for the wicked, and on their account the flood came.
