Sirach 14:19

19 All deeds decay and cease, and those who do them will pass away with them.

Sirach 14:19 In-Context

17 All flesh grows old like a garment; the ancient decree is, "You will certainly die!"

18 Like a budding leaf on a leafy tree, it sheds some and it puts forth others; so is a generation of flesh and blood; one dies, and another is born.

19 All deeds decay and cease, and those who do them will pass away with them.

20 Happy are those who meditate on Wisdom and who reason intelligently.

21 Those who consider her ways in their hearts will also reflect on her secrets.
