Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 23:17

ψυχὴ θερμὴ ὡς πῦρ καιόμενον, οὐ μὴ σβεσθῇ ἕως ἂν καταποθῇ· ἄνθρωπος πόρνος ἐν σώματι σαρκὸς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ παύσηται ἕως ἂν ἐκκαύσῃ πῦρ· ἀνθρώπω πόρνῳ πᾶς ἄρτος ἡδύς, οὐ μὴ κοπάσῃ ἕως ἂν τελευτήσῃ.

King James Version (KJV)

All bread is sweet to a whoremonger, he will not leave off till he die.

Modern English

To a man ruled by lust, every forbidden pleasure tastes sweet, and he will not give it up until he dies.
