1. O death, how bitter is the memory of you: to a man who has peace in his substance,
2. to a quiet man, and to him whose ways are directed properly in all things, and who still has the strength to take nourishment.
3. O death, your judgment is good to the indigent man, and to him whose strength has diminished,
4. who is failing due to old age, and who is anxious about all things, and to the unbelieving man who has lost patience.
5. Do not choose to dread the judgment of death. Remember the things that occurred before you, and the things that will occur after you. This judgment is from the Lord upon all flesh.
