Sirach 14:16-19

¹⁶ Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul; for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.

¹⁷ All flesh waxeth old as a garment: for the covenant from the beginning is, Thou shalt die the death.

¹⁸ As of the green leaves on a thick tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born.

¹⁹ Every work rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker thereof shall go withal.
