Sirach 38:22-24

Revised Standard Version

²² “Remember my doom, for yours is like it:
    yesterday it was mine, and today it is yours.”
²³ When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance cease,
    and be comforted for him when his spirit has departed.

²⁴ The wisdom of the scribe depends on the opportunity of leisure;
    and he who has little business may become wise.
