Sirach 38:18-20

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ For sorrow results in death,
    and sorrow of heart saps one’s strength.
¹⁹ In calamity sorrow continues,
    and the life of the poor man weighs down his heart.
²⁰ Do not give your heart to sorrow;
    drive it away, remembering the end of life.
