Sirach 27:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ If you pursue what’s just,
you will possess it
    and wear it like a glorious robe.
⁹ Birds will nest with their own kind,
    and truth comes back
    to those who practice it.
¹⁰ A lion lies in wait for prey
    just as sin lies in wait
    for those who practice injustice.
