Sirach 38:19
Print
Grief also lingers in misery, and the life of the poor is a curse upon the heart.
For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck.
Grief lingers on after the death of a loved one, but it is not wise to let it lead you into poverty.
When a person is carried away, sorrow is over; and the life of the poor one is grievous to the heart.
After the burial, grief should cease, for a life of misery weighs down the heart.
When a person is taken away, sorrow is over; but the life of the poor weighs down the heart.
When a person is taken away, sorrow is over; but the life of the poor weighs down the heart.
When a person is taken away, sorrow is over; but the life of the poor weighs down the heart.
In calamity, grief continues, but the life of the poor is a curse to the heart.
In calamity sorrow continues, and the life of the poor man weighs down his heart.
In calamity sorrow continues, and the life of the poor man weighs down his heart.
Sorrow dwelleth in leading away; and the chattel of a needy man is after his heart. [In leading away dwelleth still sorrowy sloth; and the substance of the helpless after the heart of him.]
