Ben Sira 38:24

24 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, and comfort him in the departing of his spirit.

Ben Sira 38:24 In-Context

22 Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself.
23 Remember my judgment: for also shall be so: yesterday for me, and to day for thee.
24 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest, and comfort him in the departing of his spirit.
25 The wisdom of a scribe cometh by his time of leisure: and he that is less in action, shall receive wisdom.
26 With what wisdom shall he be furnished that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth the oxen therewith, and is occupied in their labours, and his whole talk is about the offspring of bulls?
