Sirach 18:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ What are human beings,
and what use are they?
    What’s good about them,
    and what’s evil about them?
⁹ The length of a person’s life
is as much as one hundred years.^[a]
10 Like a drop of water from the sea
or a grain of sand,
    so are a few years in the span of eternity.
