Sirach 41:10-12

Common English Bible

¹⁰ Everything that’s from the earth
will go back to the earth;
    so the ungodly come from a curse
    and go to destruction.

¹¹ Human beings show their grief
in their bodies,
    but the no-good name of sinners
    will be erased.^[a]
12 Guard your reputation,
for it will continue after you
    longer than one thousand
    great treasures of gold.
