Sirach 38:19-21

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁹ When a person is taken away, sorrow is over;
    but the life of the poor weighs down the heart.
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.
