Sirach 38:17-19
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 Let your weeping be bitter and your wailing fervent;
observe the mourning according to his merit,
for one day, or two, to avoid criticism;
then be comforted for your sorrow.
18 For sorrow results in death,
and sorrow of heart saps one’s strength.
19 In calamity sorrow continues,
and the life of the poor man weighs down his heart.
