Sirach 40:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ While he openeth his hands he shall rejoice: but transgressors shall pine away in the end.

¹⁵ The offspring of the ungodly shall not bring forth many branches, and make a noise as unclean roots upon the top of a rock.

¹⁶ The weed growing over every water, and at the bank of the river, shall be pulled up before all grass.
