16Giue, and take, and sanctifie thy soule, for there is no seeking of dainties in the graue. 17All flesh waxeth old as a garment: for the couenant from the beginning is; thou shalt die the death. 18As of the greene leaues on a thicke tree, some fall, and some grow; so is the generation of flesh and blood, one commeth to an end, and another is borne. 19Euery worke rotteth and consumeth away, and the worker therof shal goe withall. 20Blessed is the man that doeth meditate good things in wisdome, and that reasoneth of holy things by his vnderstanding.
