19
In calamity sorrow continues, and the life of the poor man weighs down his heart.
20
Do not give your heart to sorrow; drive it away, remembering the end of life.
21
Do not forget, there is no coming back; you do the dead no good, and you injure yourself.
22
"Remember my doom, for yours is like it: yesterday it was mine, and today it is yours."
23
When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance cease, and be comforted for him when his spirit is departed.
