Ben Sira 41:4

Listen to Ben Sira 41:4
4 and how can you reject the good pleasure of the Most High? Whether life is for ten or a hundred or a thousand years, there is no inquiry about it in Hades.

Ben Sira 41:4 In-Context

2 O death, how welcome is your sentence to one who is in need and is failing in strength, very old and distracted over everything; to one who is contrary, and has lost his patience!
3 Do not fear the sentence of death; remember your former days and the end of life; this is the decree from the Lord for all flesh,
4 and how can you reject the good pleasure of the Most High? Whether life is for ten or a hundred or a thousand years, there is no inquiry about it in Hades.
5 The children of sinners are abominable children, and they frequent the haunts of the ungodly.
6 The inheritance of the children of sinners will perish, and on their posterity will be a perpetual reproach.
