Ben Sira 38:21

21 Forget it not, for there is no turning back; thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.

Ben Sira 38:21 In-Context

19 In affliction also sorrow remaineth, and the life of the poor is the curse of the heart.
20 Take no heaviness to heart; drive it away, and remember the last end.
21 Forget it not, for there is no turning back; thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
22 "Remember my judgment, for thine also shall be so; yesterday for me, and today for thee."
23 When the dead is at rest, let his remembrance rest; and be comforted for him when his spirit is departed from him.
