Sirach 21:9-11

Good News Translation

⁹ A group of people who have no respect for the Law is like a pile of kindling; they will meet a fiery end. ¹⁰ The road that sinners walk is smooth and paved, but it leads to the world of the dead.

Wisdom and Foolishness

¹¹ Whoever wants to keep the Law must learn what the Law means. If you fear the Lord in every sense of the term, you will have wisdom.
