Wisdom of Ben Sira 38:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ Do not abandon yourself to grief;
    banish it, and think rather of your own end.
²¹ Do not forget: there is no coming back;
    you cannot help the dead person, and you will only harm yourself.
²² Remember that his fate will also be yours;
    for him it was yesterday; for you it will be today.
