Sirach 40:13 CPDV

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.

¹³  The substance of the unjust will dry up like a river, and will pass away with a noise like loud thunder in a rainstorm.

¹⁴  When he opens his hands, he will rejoice. So will transgressors pass away at the consummation.

¹⁵  The descendants of the impious will not produce many branches, for they may be compared to dirty roots at the edge of a rock.
