Sirach 18:7LXX

Orthodox Bible · LXX · Verse 7 of 33

"What is man, and what is his grace? and what is his good, or what is his evil?"
Sirach 18:7

In context

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.

9Therefore God is patient in them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them.
