Ben Sira 14:17

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

Ben Sira 14:17 In-Context

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 beguile 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 surely die!"

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

19 Every product decays and ceases to exist, and the man who made it will pass away with it.
