Sirach 17:26-28
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 Return to the Most High and turn away from iniquity[a]
and hate intensely what is abhorrent.
27 Who will sing praises to the Most High in Hades
in place of the living who give thanks?(A)
28 From the dead, as from one who does not exist, thanksgiving has ceased;
those who are alive and well sing the Lord’s praises.(B)
