Ben Sira 33:24

24 Let no stain sully thy glory. In the time when thou shalt end the days of thy life, and in the time of thy decease, distribute thy inheritance.

Ben Sira 33:24 In-Context

22 For it is better that thy children should ask of thee, than that thou look toward the hands of thy children.
23 In all thy works keep the pre-eminence.
24 Let no stain sully thy glory. In the time when thou shalt end the days of thy life, and in the time of thy decease, distribute thy inheritance.
25 Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave.
26 He worketh under correction, and seeketh to rest: let his hands be idle, and he seeketh liberty.
