Sirach 40:15 CPDV

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.

¹⁶  The weeds, which grow above every water and beside the banks of the river, will be uprooted before all the grass.

¹⁷  Grace is like a paradise of blessings, and mercy continues for eternity.
