Ben Sira 38:22

22 Remember his fate, for yours is like it; yesterday it was his, and today it is yours.

Ben Sira 38:22 In-Context

20 Do not give your heart to grief; drive it away, and remember your own end.

21 Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.

22 Remember his fate, for yours is like it; yesterday it was his, and today it is yours.

23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest too, and be comforted for him when his spirit has departed.

24 The wisdom of the scribe depends on the opportunity of leisure; only the one who has little business can become wise.
