Sirach 14:15-21

{14:15} Should you not leave it to others to divide your sorrows and labors by lot?
{14:16} Give, and receive, and justify your soul.
{14:17} Before your passing, accomplish justice. For in death, there is no food to be found.
{14:18} All flesh grows old like the grass, and like the foliage that springs forth from a green tree.
{14:19} Some spring up, and others fall away. Such is the generation of flesh and blood. One is finished, and another is born.
{14:20} Every corruptible work will fail in the end. And its worker will go with it.
{14:21} But every excellent work will be justified. And whoever worked it will be honored by it.
