Sirach 21:8-10
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
8 Those who build their houses with other people’s money
are like those who gather stones for their own burial mounds.(A)
9 An assembly of the lawless is like a bundle of tinder,
and their end is a blazing fire.(B)
10 The way of sinners is paved with smooth stones,
but at its end is the pit of Hades.(C)
