Sirach 14:14-16
Common English Bible
14 Enjoy[a] a good day,
and don’t let your share
of a good desire pass you by.
15 Won’t you end up leaving behind
to another what you have worked
so hard for?
Won’t the things you have toiled for
end up being divided by lot?
16 Give, take, and distract yourself,[b]
because you can’t search for luxury
in the grave.[c]
