Ben Sira 38:19

19 For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck.

Ben Sira 38:19 In-Context

17 And for fear of being ill spoken of weep bitterly for a, day, and then comfort thyself in thy sadness.
18 And make mourning for him according to his merit for a day, or two, for fear of detraction.
19 For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck.
20 In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart.
21 Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end.
