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.”
