Sirach 38:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician.

¹⁶ My son, shed tears over the dead, and begin to lament as if thou hadst suffered some great harm, and according to judgment cover his body, and neglect not his burial.

¹⁷ And for fear of being ill spoken of weep bitterly for a, day, and then comfort thyself in thy sadness.
