Sirach 38:19-21
Revised Standard Version
19 In calamity sorrow continues,
and the life of the poor man weighs down his heart.
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.
