Sirach 11:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ In that he saith: I have found me rest, and now I will eat of my goods alone:

²⁰ And he knoweth not what time shall pass, and that death approacheth, and that he must leave all to others, and shall die.

²¹ Be steadfast in thy covenant, and be conversant therein, and grow old in the work of thy commandments.
