Sirach 38:17-19
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
17 Let your weeping be bitter and your wailing fervent;
make your mourning worthy of the departed,
for one day, or two, to avoid criticism;
then be comforted for your grief.
18 For grief may result in death,
and a sorrowful heart saps one’s strength.
19 When a person is taken away, sorrow is over;
but the life of the poor weighs down the heart.
