Sirach 14:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ My son, if thou have any thing, do good to thyself, and offer to God worthy offerings.

¹² Remember that death is not slow, and that the covenant of hell hath been shewn to thee: for the covenant of this world shall surely die.

¹³ Do good to thy friend before thou die, and according to thy ability, stretching out thy hand give to the poor.
