'Sinks' in the Bible

He crushes [his prey] and crouches;And the unfortunate fall by his mighty claws.

For her house leads down to deathAnd her paths lead to the dead;

Through laziness the rafters [of state affairs] decay and the roof sags, and through idleness [the roof of] the house leaks.

Therefore, as the tongue of fire consumes the stubble [from straw]And the dry grass collapses into the flame,So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away like fine dust;Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hostsAnd despised and discarded the word of the Holy One of Israel.
