Sirach 38:17-21 World English Bible (WEB)

17. Make bitter weeping, and make passionate wailing, And let your mourning be according to his desert, For one day or two, lest you be evil spoken of: And so be comforted for your sorrow.

18. For of sorrow comes death, And sorrow of heart will bow down the strength.

19. In calamity sorrow also remains: And the poor man’s life is grievous to the heart.

20. Give not your heart to sorrow: Put it away, remembering the last end:

21. Forget it not, for there is no returning again: Him you shall not profit, and you will hurt yourself.
