Ben Sira 33:23

23 Wait until the last moment of your life, when you are breathing your last, and then divide your property among your heirs.

Ben Sira 33:23 In-Context

21 It is better that your children be dependent on you than the other way around.

22 Keep control over all that you do; don't let anything stain your reputation.

23 Wait until the last moment of your life, when you are breathing your last, and then divide your property among your heirs.

24 A donkey should be given its fodder and its burden, and it should be beaten. A slave should be given food and work, and should be disciplined.

25 If you make your slave work, you can set your mind at ease. If you don't keep him busy, he will be looking for freedom.
