Sirach 38:20-22

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁰ Do not give your heart to grief;
    drive it away, and remember your own end.
²¹ Do not forget, there is no coming back;
    you do the dead^[a] no good, and you injure yourself.
²² Remember his^[b] fate, for yours is like it;
    yesterday it was his,^[c] and today it is yours.
