Sirach 37:28-31 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

28. The life of a man is in the number of his days. But the days of Israel are innumerable.

29. A wise man will inherit honor among the people, and his name will live in eternity.

30. Son, test your own mind in your life, and if it is lacking, you should not give it authority.

31. For not all things are fitting for all persons, and not every kind of thing is agreeable to every soul.
