Sirach 33:22

²⁰As long as thou livest and hast breath in thee, give not thyself over to any.

²¹For better it is that thy children should seek to thee, than that thou shouldest stand to their courtesy.

— Sirach 33:22 —

²³At the time when thou shalt end thy days, and finish thy life, distribute thine inheritance.

²⁴Fodder, a wand, and burdens, are for the ass; and bread, correction, and work, for a servant.
