Sirach 40:9 CPDV

⁷  He is disturbed by a vision of his heart, as if he had escaped in a day of warfare. In the time of his salvation, he rose up and wondered that there was no fear.

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.
