Sirach 14:19LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 19 of 27
"Some grow, and some fall off: so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born."
In context
17Before thy death work justice: for in hell there is no finding food.
18All flesh shall fade as grass, and as the leaf that springeth out on a green tree.
19Some grow, and some fall off: so is the generation of flesh and blood, one cometh to an end, and another is born.
20Every work that is corruptible shall fail in the end: and the worker thereof shall go with it.
21And every excellent work shall be justified: and the worker thereof shall be honoured therein.
