Ben Sira 30:20

Listen to Ben Sira 30:20
20 he sees with his eyes and groans, like a eunuch who embraces a maiden and groans.

Ben Sira 30:20 In-Context

18 Good things poured out upon a mouth that is closed are like offerings of food placed upon a grave.
19 Of what use to an idol is an offering of fruit? For it can neither eat nor smell. So is he who is afflicted by the Lord;
20 he sees with his eyes and groans, like a eunuch who embraces a maiden and groans.
21 Do not give yourself over to sorrow, and do not afflict yourself deliberately.
22 Gladness of heart is the life of man, and the rejoicing of a man is length of days.
