Sirach 18:6LXX
Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 6 of 33
"When a man hath done, then shall he begin: and when he leaveth off, he shall be at a loss."
In context
4And who shall shew forth the power of his majesty? or who shall be able to declare his mercy?
5Nothing may be taken away, nor added, neither is it possible to find out the glorious works of God:
6When a man hath done, then shall he begin: and when he leaveth off, he shall be at a loss.
7What is man, and what is his grace? and what is his good, or what is his evil?
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.
