Sirach 38:21LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 21 of 39

"Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end."
Sirach 38:21

In context

19For of sadness cometh death, and it overwhelmeth the strength, and the sorrow of the heart boweth down the neck.

20In withdrawing aside sorrow remaineth: and the substance of the poor is according to his heart.

21Give not up thy heart to sadness, but drive it from thee: and remember the latter end.

22Forget it not: for there is no returning, and thou shalt do him no good, and shalt hurt thyself.

23Remember my judgment: for also shall be so: yesterday for me, and today for thee.
