Sirach 33:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Some of them hath he blessed, and exalted: and some of them hath he sanctified, and set near himself: and some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned them from their station.

¹³ As the potter's clay is in his hand, to fashion and order it:

¹⁴ All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his judgment.
