Sirach 10:10-12

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁰ There is not a more wicked thing than to love money: for such a one setteth even his own soul to sale: because while he liveth he hath cast away his bowels.

¹¹ All power is of short life. A long sickness is troublesome to the physician.

¹² The physician cutteth off a short sickness: so also a king is to day, and to morrow he shall die.
