Sirach 36:30-31

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁰Where there is no fence, the property will be plundered;
    and where there is no wife, a man will become a fugitive and a wanderer.^[a]
³¹For who will trust a nimble robber
    that skips from city to city?
So who will trust a man that has no nest,
    but lodges wherever night overtakes him?
