Ecclesiasticus 41:4 Context
2O death, acceptable is thy sentence vnto the needy, and vnto him whose strength faileth, that is now in the last age, and is vexed with all things, and to him that despaireth and hath lost patience. 3Feare not the sentence of death, remember them that haue beene before thee, and that come after, for this is the sentence of the Lord ouer all flesh. 4And why art thou against the pleasure of the most High? there is no inquisition in the graue, whether thou haue liued ten, or a hundred, or a thousand yeeres. 5The children of sinners, are abhominable children: and they that are conuersant in the dwelling of the vngodly. 6The inheritance of sinners children shal perish, and their posterity shal haue a perpetuall reproch.
