Sirach 38:20-22

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart.

²¹ Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end.

²² Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself.
