Wisdom of the Bible: Woe to you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the Most High God! Ben Sira 41:8

The science of ethics has a fundamental role in the Bible, and in particular the explanation of the problem of evil in the world. According to the Book of Genesis, evil entered the world through the original sin and from there to all the descendants of Adam and Eve. But it is also true that men have the freedom to choose, as the wise man taught: "God in the beginning created human beings and made them subject to their own free choice" Ben Sira 15:14, and this is why education in man has a fundamental role, because good can be taught, and this is why the Sacred Scriptures are so important.
And the sapiential books in the Bible, like Proverbs, Wisdom, Ecclesiastes, and Ben Sira, are especially dedicated to this problem, to teaching man how to lead a blessed life, that is, a sensible life.
And the master of wisdom Ben Sira with his knowledge taught what men should avoid, Ben Sira taught in his book that the path of sin is an uncertain path and full of dangers, beyond any rational calculation that is made, the destructive unforeseen events are close and constantly threaten to arrive. This is why the path of sin is considered a misfortune. It is true that many wicked people progress, but this occurs while the strategies under a calculated environment are successful. In other words, some wicked people exceptionally achieve success, as was the case with King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonian Empire, but this does not happen with the majority.
For this reason, the master Ben Sira wrote these words to describe the misfortune that men should not follow for any reason:
"Woe to you, ungodly men,
who have forsaken the law of the Most High God!
When you are born, you are born to a curse;
and when you die, a curse is your lot.
Whatever is from the dust returns to dust;
so the ungodly go from curse to destruction" Ben Sira 41:8-10.
