Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 17:28

ἀπὸ νεκροῦ ὡς μηδὲ ὄντος ἀπόλλυται ἐξομολόγησις· ζῶν καὶ ὑγιὴς αἰνέσει τὸν Κύριον.
King James Version (KJV)

Thanksgiving perisheth from the dead, as from one that is not: the living and sound in heart shall praise the Lord.

Modern English

Thanksgiving is lost from the dead, as if they never existed; only the living, with sound hearts, will praise the Lord.
