Sirach 38:15

¹³There is a time when in their hands there is good success.

¹⁴For they shall also pray unto the Lord, that he would prosper that, which they give for ease and remedy to prolong life.

— Sirach 38:15 —

¹⁶My son, let tears fall down over the dead, and begin to lament, as if thou hadst suffered great harm thyself; and then cover his body according to the custom, and neglect not his burial.

¹⁷Weep bitterly, and make great moan, and use lamentation, as he is worthy, and that a day or two, lest thou be evil spoken of: and then comfort thyself for thy heaviness.
