Sirach 30:19-21
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
19 Of what use to an idol is a sacrifice?
For it can neither eat nor smell.
So is one punished by the Lord;
20 he sees with his eyes and groans
as a eunuch groans when embracing a girl.[a]
21 Do not give yourself over to sorrow,
and do not distress yourself deliberately.
