Sirach 40:10 CPDV

⁸  This is so with all flesh, from man even to cattle, but upon sinners it is seven times as great.

⁹  Add to this: death, bloodshed, contention, and the spear, oppression, famine, and affliction, and scourges.

¹⁰  All these things have been created because of iniquity, and it is due to iniquity that the great flood was made.

¹¹  All things that are of the earth shall return to the earth, and all waters shall return to the sea.

¹²  All bribery and iniquity will be wiped away, but faith shall stand forever.
