Sirach 38:19-21

Common English Bible

¹⁹ Grief also lingers in misery,
    and the life of the poor
    is a curse upon the heart.
²⁰ Don’t give your heart over to grief;
    stay away from it,
    remembering your own end.
²¹ Don’t forget that there’s no coming back;
    you won’t do them any good,
    and you will hurt yourself.
