Sirach 33:23LXX

21As long as thou livest, and hast breath in thee, let no man change thee.

22For it is better that thy children should ask of thee, than that thou look toward the hands of thy children.

23In all thy works keep the pre-eminence.

24Let no stain sully thy glory. In the time when thou shalt end the days of thy life, and in the time of thy decease, distribute thy inheritance.

25Fodder, and a wand, and a burden are for an ass: bread, and correction, and work for a slave.
