Ecclesiasticus Chapter 41
Of the remembrance of death: of an evil and of a good name: of what
things we ought to be ashamed.
41:1. O death, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a man that hath
peace in his possessions!
41:2. To a man that is at rest, and whose ways are prosperous in all
things, and that is yet able to take meat!
41:3. O death thy sentence is welcome to the man that is in need, and to
him whose strength faileth:
41:4. Who is in a decrepit age, and that is in care about all things,
and to the distrustful that loseth patience!
41:5. Fear not the sentence of death. Remember what things have been
before thee, and what shall come after thee: this sentence is from the
Lord upon all flesh.
41:6. And what shall come upon thee by the good pleasure of the most
High? whether ten, or a hundred, or a thousand years.
41:7. For among the dead there is no accusing of life.
41:8. The children of sinners become children of abominations, and they
that converse near the houses of the ungodly.
41:9. The inheritance of the children of sinners shall perish, and with
their posterity shall be a perpetual reproach.
41:10. The children will complain of an ungodly father, because for his
sake they are in reproach.
41:11. Woe to you, ungodly men, who have forsaken the law of the most
high Lord.
41:12. And if you be born, you shall be born in malediction: and if you
die, in malediction shall be your portion.
41:13. All things that are of the earth, shall return into the earth: so
the ungodly shall from malediction to destruction.
41:14. The mourning of men is about their body, but the name of the
ungodly shall be blotted out.
41:15. Take care of a good name: for this shall continue with thee, more
than a thousand treasures precious and great.
41:16. A good life hath its number of days: but a good name shall
continue for ever.
