Sirach 17:28-30

Revised Standard Version

²⁸ From the dead, as from one who does not exist, thanksgiving has ceased;
    he who is alive and well sings the Lord’s praises.
²⁹ How great is the mercy of the Lord,
    and his forgiveness for those who turn to him!
³⁰ For all things cannot be in men,^[a]
    since a son of man is not immortal.
