Sirach 14:12 In-Context

10 Envious people are even begrudging when it comes to bread, and it's lacking on their table.
11 My child, treat yourself well according to what you have, and bring offerings to the Lord that are worthy.
12 Remember that death won't delay, and the decree of the grave hasn't been shown to you.
13 Before you die, treat your friends well. According to your ability, reach out, and give to them.
14 Enjoy a good day, and don't let your share of a good desire pass you by.
