Ben Sira 5:3 In-Context

1 Do not set your heart on your wealth, nor say, "I have enough."

2 Do not follow your inclination and strength, walking according to the desires of your heart.

3 Do not say, "Who will have power over me?" for the Lord will surely punish you.

4 Do not say, "I sinned, and what happened to me?" for the Lord is slow to anger.
