Ben Sira 14:16

16 Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul; for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.

Ben Sira 14:16 In-Context

14 Defraud not thyself of the good day, and let not the part of a good desire overpass thee.

15 Shalt thou not leave thy travails unto another, and thy labors to be divided by lot?

16 Give, and take, and sanctify thy soul; for there is no seeking of dainties in the grave.

17 All flesh waxeth old as a garment; for the covenant from the beginning is, "Thou shalt die the death."

18 As of the green leaves on a thick tree, some fall and some grow, so is the generation of flesh and blood: one cometh to an end, and another is born.
