Ben Sira 11:29

29 The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works.

Ben Sira 11:29 In-Context

27 In the day of good things be not unmindful of evils: and in the day of evils be not unmindful of good things:

28 For it is easy before God in the day of death to reward every one according to his ways.

29 The affliction of an hour maketh one forget great delights, and in the end of a man is the disclosing of his works.

30 Praise not any man before death, for a man is known by his children.

31 Bring not every man into thy house: for many are the snares of the deceitful.
