Do not worry for to-morrow - Ben Sira

Do not worry for to-morrow,
As thou dost not know the sorrow
Which to-day bears in its train.
Likely fate may come behind thee,
And to-morrow will not find thee —
Then thy worry was in vain!

Ben Sira (also known as Shimon ben Yeshua ben Eliezer ben Sira or Jesus Ben Sirach) (2nd century BC) Israel
