Sirach 16:5

³Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly.

⁴For by one that hath understanding shall the city be replenished: but the kindred of the wicked shall speedily become desolate.

— Sirach 16:5 —

⁶In the congregation of the ungodly shall a fire be kindled; and in a rebellious nation wrath is set on fire.

⁷He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness.
