Sirach 34:22-25 World English Bible (WEB)

22. As one that slays his neighbor is he that takes away his living; And as a shedder of blood is he that depriveth a hireling of his hire.

23. One building, and another pulling down, What profit have they had but toil?

25. He that washes himself after touching a dead body, and touches it again, What profit has he in his washing?
