Sirach 18:8-10
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
8 What are human beings, and of what use are they?
What is good in them, and what is evil?
9 The number of days in their life is great if they reach one hundred years.[a]
10 Like a drop of water from the sea and a grain of sand,
so are a few years among the days of eternity.
