Sirach 14:17-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁷ Before thy death work thou rightfulness; for at hells (or in the grave), it is not to find meat. [Before thy death work rightwiseness; for to find meat is not with (or in) hell.]

¹⁸ Each man shall wax eld [or old] as hay, and as a leaf bringing fruit in a green tree. Others be (en)gendered, and others be cast [or fall] down; so the generation of flesh and blood, another is ended, and another is born.

¹⁹ Each corruptible work shall fail in the end; and he that worketh it, shall go with it. And all chosen work shall be justified; and he that worketh it, shall be honoured in (or by) it. [Each corruptible work in the end shall fail; and he that worketh it, shall go with it. And each chosen work shall be justified; and he that worketh it, shall be worshipped in it.]
