O death, your judgement is good to a person who is needy and lacking strength, who is in extreme old age and is anxious about everything and who is disobedient and has lost hope.

O death, how bitter is the remembrance of you to a person at peace with his possessions,
to a man undistracted and prospering in everything and still having strength to welcome a luxury.

O death, your judgement is good to a person who is needy and lacking strength, who is in extreme old age
and is anxious about everything and who is disobedient and has lost hope.
