Sirach 14:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 Will you not leave the fruit of your labors to another,
and what you acquired by toil to be divided by lot?(A)
16 Give and take and indulge yourself,
because in Hades one cannot look for luxury.
17 All living beings become old like a garment,
for the decree[a] from of old is, “You must die!”(B)
