Sirach 41:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³ Do not fear death’s decree for you;
    remember those who went before you and those who will come after.^(A)
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.

⁵ The children of sinners are abominable children,
    and they frequent the haunts of the ungodly.
