New Testament

Sirach 41:5-9 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.

6. And what will happen to you is well-pleasing to the Most High, whether in ten, or one hundred, or one thousand years.

7. For death is no indictment of life.

8. The sons of sinners, and those who pass their time in the manner of the houses of the impious, become sons of abominations.

9. The inheritance of the sons of sinners will perish, and continual disgrace will be with their offspring.
