Ecclesiasticus 19:1-3 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

1. A WORKMAN that is a drunkard shall not be rich: and he that contemneth small things, shall fall by little and little.

2. Wine and women make wise men fall off, and shall rebuke the prudent:

3. And he that joineth himself to harlots, will be wicked. Rottenness and worms shall inherit him, and he shall be lifted up for a greater example, and his soul shall be taken away out of the number.
