Ben Sira 38:16

16 My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.

Ben Sira 38:16 In-Context

14 for they shall also pray unto the Lord, that He would prosper that which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.

15 He that sinneth before his Maker, let him fall into the hand of the physician.

16 My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.

17 Weep bitterly, and make great moaning, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of; and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.

18 For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
