Sirach 38:15-17
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
15 He who sins against his Maker
will be defiant towards the physician.[a]
On Mourning for the Dead
16 My child, let your tears fall for the dead,
and as one in great pain begin the lament.
Lay out the body with due ceremony,
and do not neglect the burial.
17 Let your weeping be bitter and your wailing fervent;
make your mourning worthy of the departed,
for one day, or two, to avoid criticism;
then be comforted for your grief.
