Sirach 14:16-18 Common English Bible (CEB)

16. Give, take, and distract yourself,because you can’t search for luxuryin the grave.

17. All flesh grows old like a garment;the ancient decree is,"You will certainly die!"

18. Like a budding leaf on a leafy tree,it sheds some and it puts forth others;so is a generation of flesh and blood;one dies, and another is born.
