Sirach 47:29 CPDV

²⁷  And he left behind himself some of his offspring, as the folly of the nation:

²⁸  both Rehoboam, who had little prudence, and who turned away the people by his counsel,

²⁹  and Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin, and who provided a way of sin to Ephraim. And their sins were multiplied exceedingly.

³⁰  They thoroughly turned them away from their own land.

³¹  And they sought every kind of wickedness, even until punishment overwhelmed them, and freed them from every kind of sin.
