Sirach 14:17-19
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
17 All living beings become old like a garment,
for the decree[a] from of old is, “You must die!”
18 Like abundant leaves on a spreading tree
that sheds some and puts forth others,
so are the generations of flesh and blood:
one dies and another is born.
19 Every work decays and ceases to exist,
and the one who made it will pass away with it.
