Sirach 41:12

12 Guard your reputation, for it will continue after you longer than one thousand great treasures of gold.

Sirach 41:12 In-Context

10 Everything that's from the earth will go back to the earth; so the ungodly come from a curse and go to destruction.

11 Human beings show their grief in their bodies, but the no-good name of sinners will be erased.

12 Guard your reputation, for it will continue after you longer than one thousand great treasures of gold.

13 A good life has a limited number of days, but a good name will continue forever.

14 Hold on to your education in peace, my children. Hidden wisdom and an invisible treasure— of what use is either?
