Sirach 40:11-15

{40:11} All things that are of the earth shall return to the earth, and all waters shall return to the sea.
{40:12} All bribery and iniquity will be wiped away, but faith shall stand forever.
{40:13} The substance of the unjust will dry up like a river, and will pass away with a noise like loud thunder in a rainstorm.
{40:14} When he opens his hands, he will rejoice. So will transgressors pass away at the consummation.
{40:15} The descendants of the impious will not produce many branches, for they may be compared to dirty roots at the edge of a rock.
