could you guys translate Sirach 30:17 for me. I translated it and it does not
make since. I do not think the traditional translation makes since eighter
HH: Here is the NRSV, which seems to be a good translation of the Greek OT:
Sir. 30:17 Death is better than a life of misery,
and eternal sleep than chronic sickness.
HH: It makes sense, but I do not agree with it. Sirach is not Scripture
and so I don't have to agree with it.
