Ben Sira 7:17

Listen to Ben Sira 7:17
17 Humble yourself greatly, for the punishment of the ungodly is fire and worms.

Ben Sira 7:17 In-Context

15 Do not hate toilsome labor, or farm work, which were created by the Most High.
16 Do not count yourself among the crowd of sinners; remember that wrath does not delay.
17 Humble yourself greatly, for the punishment of the ungodly is fire and worms.
18 Do not exchange a friend for money, or a real brother for the gold of Ophir.
19 Do not deprive yourself of a wise and good wife, for her charm is worth more than gold.
