O death, thy sentence is welcome to the man that is in need, and to him whose strength faileth:
Do not be afraid of death's decree. Remember that it came to those before you and will come to those after you.
Do not fear death’s decree for you; remember, it embraces those before you and those to come.
Do not fear death’s sentence; remember it embraces those who preceded you and those who will come after.
Do not fear death’s decree for you; remember those who went before you and those who will come after.

Do not fear death’s decree for you; remember those who went before you and those who will come after.
Do not fear death’s decree for you; remember those who went before you and those who will come after.
Do not fear the sentence of death; remember your former days and the end of life; this is the decree from the Lord for all flesh,
Do not fear the sentence of death; remember your former days and the end of life; this is the decree from the Lord for all flesh,
Do not thou dread the doom of death, that is, set thou thee in such a state, (so) that the doom of death be good to (or for) thee; have thou mind what things were before thee, and what things shall come on (or after) thee; this doom is of the Lord to each man. [Do thou not dread the doom of death; have mind what before thee were, and what upon be to come to (or after) thee; this doom from the Lord to all flesh.]
