Sirach 16:6 CPDV

⁴  And it is better to die without children, than to leave behind impious children.

⁵  By means of one person with understanding, a country will be inhabited. The tribe of the impious will become desolate.

⁶  Many such things my eyes have seen, and greater things than these my ear has heard.

⁷  In the synagogue of sinners, a fire will blaze forth; and amid an unbelieving people, wrath will flare up.

⁸  The giants of antiquity did not obtain pardon for their sins; they were destroyed by trusting in their own abilities.
