Sirach 30:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ So is he that is persecuted by the Lord, bearing the reward of his iniquity:

²¹ He seeth with his eyes, and groaneth, as an eunuch embracing a virgin, and sighing.

²² Give not up thy soul to sadness, and afflict not thyself in thy own counsel.
