Sirach 38:18-20

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

¹⁸ For grief may result in death,
    and a sorrowful heart saps one’s strength.
¹⁹ When a person is taken away, sorrow is over;
    but the life of the poor weighs down the heart.
²⁰ Do not give your heart to grief;
    drive it away, and remember your own end.
