Sirach 14:11-13
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
11 My child, treat yourself well, according to your means,
and present worthy offerings to the Lord.(A)
12 Remember that death does not tarry,
and the decree[a] of Hades has not been shown to you.
13 Do good to friends before you die,
and reach out and give to them as much as you can.
