Ben Sira 14:19

19 Every work rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker thereof shall go after it.

Ben Sira 14:19 In-Context

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.

19 Every work rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker thereof shall go after it.

20 Blessed is the man that doth meditate good things in wisdom, and that reasoneth about holy things by his understanding.

21 He that considereth her ways in his heart shall also have understanding in her secrets.
