Sirach 38:21
Print
Don’t forget that there’s no coming back; you won’t do them any good, and you will hurt yourself.
Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end.
There is no way to bring the dead person back. All your sorrow does him no good, and it hurts you. Don't forget that.
Do not recall him, for there is no hope of his return; you do him no good, and you harm yourself.
Do not forget: there is no coming back; you cannot help the dead person, and you will only harm yourself.
Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.
Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.
Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.
Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.
Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.
Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.
and do not thou forget. For why no (re)turning is, and thou shalt nothing profit to this dead man; and thou shalt harm worst thyself. [and do thou not forget. Not forsooth there is conversation, and to this thou shalt nothing profit; and thyself thou shalt worst treat.]
