In context
23When one buildeth, and another pulleth down, What profit have they then but labor?
24When one prayeth, and another curseth, Whose voice will the Lord hear?
— Sirach 31:25 —
26So is it with a man that fasteth for his sins, And goeth again, and doeth the same: Who will hear his prayer? Or what doth his humbling profit him?
