Sirach 47:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ And thou didst bow thyself to women: and by thy body thou wast brought under subjection.

²² Thou hast stained thy glory, and defiled thy seed so as to bring wrath upon thy children, and to have thy folly kindled,

²³ That thou shouldst make the kingdom to be divided, and out of Ephraim a rebellious kingdom to rule.
