Sirach 14:17

17 All flesh grows old like a garment; the ancient decree is, "You will certainly die!"

Sirach 14:17 In-Context

15 Won't you end up leaving behind to another what you have worked so hard for? Won't the things you have toiled for end up being divided by lot?
16 Give, take, and distract yourself, because you can't search for luxury in the grave.
17 All flesh grows old like a garment; the ancient decree is, "You will certainly die!"
18 Like a budding leaf on a leafy tree, it sheds some and it puts forth others; so is a generation of flesh and blood; one dies, and another is born.
19 All deeds decay and cease, and those who do them will pass away with them.
