Sirach 31:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

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

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