Ecclesiasticus 41 — Chapter 41

Ecclesiasticus · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1O death, how bitter is the remembrance of you to a man that lives at rest in his possessions, to the man that has nothing to vex him, and that has prosperity in all things: yes, to him that is yet able to receive meat!

2O death, acceptable is your sentence to the needy, and to him whose strength fails, that is now in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth, and has lost patience!

3Fear not the sentence of death, remember them that have been before you, and that come after; for this is the sentence of Yahuah (God) over all flesh.

4And why art you against the pleasure of the Most High? there is no inquisition in the grave, whether you have lived ten, or an hundred, or a thousand years.

That is the first paragraph of Ecclesiasticus 41
