Sirach 14:14

14 Enjoy a good day, and don't let your share of a good desire pass you by.

Sirach 14:14 In-Context

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.

15 Won't you end up leaving behind to another what you have worked so hard for? Won't the things you have toiled for end up being divided by lot?

16 Give, take, and distract yourself, because you can't search for luxury in the grave.
