Sirach 41:2-4

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

² O death, how welcome is your sentence
    to one who is needy and failing in strength,
worn down by age and anxious about everything;
    to one who is contrary, and has lost all patience!
³ Do not fear death’s decree for you;
    remember those who went before you and those who will come after.
⁴ This is the Lord’s decree for all flesh;
    why then should you reject the will of the Most High?
Whether life lasts for ten years or a hundred or a thousand,
    there are no questions asked in Hades.
