Sirach 18:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ The 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.

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

¹⁰ He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil.
