Sirach 41:11

11 Human beings show their grief in their bodies, but the no-good name of sinners will be erased.

Sirach 41:11 In-Context

9 When you are born, you are born to a curse, and when you die, you will leave a curse as your legacy.
10 Everything that's from the earth will go back to the earth; so the ungodly come from a curse and go to destruction.
11 Human beings show their grief in their bodies, but the no-good name of sinners will be erased.
12 Guard your reputation, for it will continue after you longer than one thousand great treasures of gold.
13 A good life has a limited number of days, but a good name will continue forever.
