Ben Sira 18:24

24 Think! Do you want him to be angry with you on the day you die? When you face his judgment, do you want him to turn his back on you?

Ben Sira 18:24 In-Context

22 If you make a promise to the Lord, keep it as soon as you can. Don't wait until you are about to die to set things straight.

23 But before you make such a promise, be prepared to keep it. Don't try to test the Lord's patience.

24 Think! Do you want him to be angry with you on the day you die? When you face his judgment, do you want him to turn his back on you?

25 When you have all you want, think what it is like to be hungry, what it is to be poor.

26 Things can change in a single day; the Lord can act very quickly.
