Sirach 17:28-30

Common English Bible

²⁸ From the dead thanksgiving has perished, since they are no longer alive;
    those who are alive and healthy
    will praise the Lord.
²⁹ How great is the Lord’s mercy!
    How quickly is he reconciled
    with those who turn back to him!
³⁰ Human beings can’t do all things,
    because no person is immortal.
