Sirach 31:6LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 6 of 42

"Many have been brought to fall for gold, and the beauty thereof hath been their ruin."
Sirach 31:6

In context

4The poor man hath laboured in his low way of life, and in the end he is still poor.

5He that loveth gold, shall not be justified: and he that followeth after corruption, shall be filled with it.

6Many have been brought to fall for gold, and the beauty thereof hath been their ruin.

7Gold is a stumblingblock to them that sacrifice to it: woe to them that eagerly follow after it, and every fool shall perish by it.

8Blessed is the rich man that is found without blemish: and that hath not gone after gold, nor put his trust in money nor in treasures.
