Ben Sira 14:16

16 Give, and take, and indulge yourself, because in Hades one cannot look for luxury.

Ben Sira 14:16 In-Context

14 Do not deprive yourself of a day's enjoyment; do not let your share of desired good pass by you.

15 Will you not leave the fruit of your labors to another, and what you acquired by toil to be divided by lot?

16 Give, and take, and indulge yourself, because in Hades one cannot look for luxury.

17 All living beings become old like a garment, for the decree from of old is, "You must die!"

18 Like abundant leaves on a spreading tree that sheds some and puts forth others, so are the generations of flesh and blood: one dies and another is born.
