Ben Sira 41:13

13 A good life hath but few days, but a good name endureth for ever.

Ben Sira 41:13 In-Context

11 The mourning of men is about their bodies, but an evil name of sinners shall be blotted out.

12 Have regard for thy name, for that shall continue with thee above a thousand great treasures of gold.

13 A good life hath but few days, but a good name endureth for ever.

14 My children, keep discipline in peace; for wisdom that is hid, and a treasure that is not seen, what profit is in them both?

15 A man that hideth his foolishness is better than a man that hideth his wisdom.
