Sirach 47:23DRA

21And thou didst bow thyself to women: and by thy body thou wast brought under subjection.

22Thou hast stained thy glory, and defiled thy seed so as to bring wrath upon thy children, and to have thy folly kindled,

23That thou shouldst make the kingdom to be divided, and out of Ephraim a rebellious kingdom to rule.

24But God will not leave off his mercy, and he will not destroy, nor abolish his own works, neither will he out up by the roots the offspring of his elect: and he will not utterly take away the seed of him that loveth the Lord.

25Wherefore he gave a remnant to Jacob, and to David of the same stock.
