Sirach 38:20

20 Don't give your heart over to grief; stay away from it, remembering your own end.

Sirach 38:20 In-Context

18 Too much grief can lead to death, and grief in one's heart will sap one's strength.

19 Grief also lingers in misery, and the life of the poor is a curse upon the heart.

20 Don't give your heart over to grief; stay away from it, remembering your own end.

21 Don't forget that there's no coming back; you won't do them any good, and you will hurt yourself.

22 Remember their sentence, because it's yours also: "Yesterday it was I, and today it's you!"
