Sirach 41:1-3
Common English Bible
41 How bitter, death,
is the thought of you
to those who are at peace
among their possessions,
to those who aren’t anxiously distracted, who prosper at everything
and still have the strength
to enjoy good food.
2 Your sentence looks good, death,
to a person who is needy
and lacks strength,
who is extremely old and anxious
about everything,
who is not compliant
and whose endurance has failed.
3 Don’t fear death’s judgment;
remember those who came before you
and those who will come after you.
