Sirach 11:27
An hour of misery makes one forget luxury; the end of a person’s life reveals his or her deeds.
In the day of good things be not unmindful of evils: and in the day of evils be not unmindful of good things:
At that time our deeds are open for all to see; all our happiness can be erased in that one moment of misery.
A time of affliction brings forgetfulness of past delights; at the end of life one’s deeds are revealed.
A moment’s affliction causes former pleasures to be forgotten, and at the close of one’s life, one’s deeds are revealed.
An hour’s misery makes one forget past delights, and at the close of one’s life one’s deeds are revealed.
An hour’s misery makes one forget past delights, and at the close of one’s life one’s deeds are revealed.
An hour’s misery makes one forget past delights, and at the close of one’s life one’s deeds are revealed.
An hour’s misery makes one forget delights, and at the close of one’s life one’s deeds are revealed.
The misery of an hour makes one forget luxury, and at the close of a man’s life his deeds will be revealed.
The misery of an hour makes one forget luxury, and at the close of a man’s life his deeds will be revealed.
The malice of one hour maketh forgetting of most lechery; and in the end of a man is making naked of his works.
