Sirach 38:22-24

Common English Bible

²² Remember their sentence,
because it’s yours also:
    “Yesterday it was I, and today it’s you!”
²³ When the dead are at rest,
put their memory to rest,
    and be comforted for them
    when their spirit has left.

²⁴ The scribe’s wisdom depends
on the opportunity for leisure,
    and whoever lacks busyness
    will become wise.
