Sirach 38:20-22
Revised Standard Version
20 Do not give your heart to sorrow;
drive it away, remembering the end of life.
21 Do not forget, there is no coming back;
you do the dead[a] no good, and you injure yourself.
22 “Remember my doom, for yours is like it:
yesterday it was mine, and today it is yours.”
