23 And a man that is wicked in the mouth of his flesh, will not leave off till he hath kindled a fire.

Ben Sira 23:23 In-Context

21 Two sorts of men multiply sins, and the third bringeth wrath and destruction
22 A hot soul is a burning fire, it will never be quenched, till it devour some thing.
23 And a man that is wicked in the mouth of his flesh, will not leave off till he hath kindled a fire.
24 To a man that is a fornicator all bread is sweet, he will not be weary of sinning unto the end.
25 Every man that passeth beyond his own bed, despising his own soul, and saying: Who seeth me?
