Sirach 30:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ Good things that are poured out
on a closed mouth
    are the same as food offerings
    placed on a grave.
¹⁹ Of what use is an offering of fruit
to an idol?
    It can’t eat or smell.
    The person whom the Lord punishes
    is like this,
²⁰     looking with the eyes and groaning
    like a eunuch who embraces
    a young woman and groans.^[b]
