Sirach 14:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ Some grow, and some fall off: so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born.

²⁰ Every work that is corruptible shall fail in the end: and the worker thereof shall go with it.

²¹ And every excellent work shall be justified: and the worker thereof shall be honoured therein.
