Apocrypha Quote

O death, how bitter is the reminder of you to one who lives at peace among his possessions, to a man without distractions who is prosperous in everything and who still has the vigor to enjoy his food.
O death, how welcome is your sentence to one who is in need and is failing in strength, very old and distracted over everything, to one who is contrary and has lost his patience.—Ecclesiasticus 41:1,2
