Ben Sira 40:10

10 All these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.

Ben Sira 40:10 In-Context

8 Such things happen to all flesh, from man even to beast, and upon sinners are sevenfold mere.

9 Moreover, death, and bloodshed, strife, and sword, oppressions, famine, and affliction, and scourges:

10 All these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.

11 All things that are of the earth, shall return to the earth again, and all waters shall return to the sea.

12 All bribery, and injustice shall blotted out, and fidelity shall stand for ever.
