From the book of the Wisdom of Solomon (a Deuterocanonical book) Chapter 1:12-16
1:12 Do not court death by the errors of your ways, nor invite destruction through the work of your hands.
1:13 For God did not make Death, he takes no pleasure in destroying the living.
1:14 To exist — for this he created all things; the creatures of the world have health in them, in them is no fatal poison, and Hades has no power over the world:
1:15 for uprightness is immortal.
1:16 But the godless call for Death with deed and word, counting him friend, they wear themselves out for him; with him they make a pact, worthy as they are to belong to him.
