Sirach 41:10-12
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
10 Whatever comes from earth returns to earth,
so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.(A)
11 The breath[a] of humans is in their bodies,
but a virtuous name will never be blotted out.[b](B)
12 Have regard for your name, since it will outlive you
longer than a thousand hoards of gold.(C)
