Sirach 41:13

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

Sirach 41:13 In-Context

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?

15 People who hide their foolishness are better than people who hide their wisdom.
