When its your time to die, dont be afraid— you are merely following those who have gone on before. And everyone else will soon follow you, because the Lord has commanded that life ends with death, and we all must obey. No one in the world of the dead will ask how long you lived, whether it was ten, a hundred, or a thousand years. The children of sinners are disgusting, because they are raised in godless homes. They will lose everything they inherited, and their own children will live in disgrace. If parents reject God, their children are disgraced and blame them. The godless are in for trouble, because they refuse to obey the Law of God Most High. They will groan as disaster strikes their children, and at the death of the godless, Gods people will celebrate and will curse them. All living creatures will return to the soil from which they were made, but sinners are under a curse and will be destroyed. When someone dies, we usually mourn, but everyone tries to forget those who were evil. So be careful! Your reputation wont die with you— it will outlast the gold in a thousand treasure chests. Every one of us must die, but our reputations wont. Sirach 41:3-13
