Sirach 41:10-12

Revised Standard Version

¹⁰Whatever is from the dust returns to dust;
so the ungodly go from curse to destruction.

¹¹The mourning of men is about their bodies,
but the evil name of sinners will be blotted out.
¹²Have regard for your name, since it will remain for you
longer than a thousand great stores of gold.
