In context
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.
18For of heaviness cometh death, and the heaviness of the heart breaketh strength.
— Sirach 38:19 —
20Take no heaviness to heart: drive it away, and member the last end.
21Forget it not, for there is no turning again: thou shalt not do him good, but hurt thyself.
