Sirach 14:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ All flesh shall fade as grass, and as the leaf that springeth out on a green tree.

¹⁹ Some grow, and some fall off: so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born.

²⁰ Every work that is corruptible shall fail in the end: and the worker thereof shall go with it.
