Sirach 40:1-2

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

40 Hard work was created for everyone,
    and a heavy yoke is laid on the children of Adam,
from the day they come forth from their mother’s womb
    until the day they return to^[a] the mother of all the living.^[b]
2 Perplexities and fear of heart are theirs,
    and anxious thought of the day of their death.
