Sirach 18:10LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 10 of 33
"He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil."
In context
8The number of the days of men at the most are a hundred years: as a drop of water of the sea are they esteemed: and as a pebble of the sand, so are a few years compared to eternity.
9Therefore God is patient in them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them.
10He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil.
11Therefore bath he filled up his mercy in their favour, and hath shewn them the way of justice.
12The compassion of man is toward his neighbour: but the mercy of God is upon all flesh.
