16
My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.
17
Weep bitterly, and make great moaning, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of; and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.
18
For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
19
In affliction also sorrow remaineth, and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.
20
Take no heaviness to heart; drive it away, and remember the last end.
