Ben Sira 11:27

27 The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure, and in his end his deeds shall be discovered.

Ben Sira 11:27 In-Context

25 In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of affliction, and in the day of affliction there is no more remembrance of prosperity.
26 For it is an easy thing unto the Lord in the day of death to reward a man according to his ways.
27 The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleasure, and in his end his deeds shall be discovered.
28 Judge none blessed before his death, for a man shall be known in his children.
29 Bring not every man into thine house, for the deceitful man hath many snares.
