Sirach 31:5-7
Wycliffe Bible
5 He that loveth gold, shall not be justified; and he that (pur)sueth [or followeth] (after) wasting (or corruption), shall be [full-]filled thereof.
6 Many men be given into the fallings of gold, that is, many men felled into sins for gold; and the perdition of them was made in the fairness thereof. [Many be given into the fallings of gold; and the loss of them is made in the fairness of it.]
7 A tree of offence (or of stumbling) is the gold of them that make sacrifice; woe to them that (pur)sue [or follow] it, and each unprudent man shall perish therein.
