Sirach 17:26-28
Common English Bible
26 Return to the Most High,
and turn from injustice,[a]
and hate what he detests.
27 Who will praise the Most High
in the grave[b]
instead of the living
and those who give thanks?
28 From the dead thanksgiving has perished, since they are no longer alive;
those who are alive and healthy
will praise the Lord.
