Sirach 38:19-21
Wycliffe Bible
19 Sorrow dwelleth in leading away; and the chattel of a needy man is after his heart. [In leading away dwelleth still sorrowy sloth; and the substance of the helpless after the heart of him.]
20 Give thou not thine heart in sorrow [or in sorrowy sloth], but put it away from thee; and have thou mind on the last things,
21 and do not thou forget. For why no (re)turning is, and thou shalt nothing profit to this dead man; and thou shalt harm worst thyself. [and do thou not forget. Not forsooth there is conversation, and to this thou shalt nothing profit; and thyself thou shalt worst treat.]
