Sirach 5:7-9
Common English Bible
7 Don’t wait to turn back to the Lord.
Don’t put it off day after day,
because the Lord’s wrath
will come forth suddenly;
when the time for punishment comes, you will be destroyed.
8 Don’t be preoccupied
with ill-gotten gains;
it will be of no benefit
when you are in trouble.
9 Don’t be blown about by every wind,
and don’t take every shortcut.
This is how the devious[a] sinner acts.
