Sirach 18:9-11
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
9 The number of a man’s days is great if he reaches a hundred years.
10 Like a drop of water from the sea and a grain[a] of sand
so are a few years in the day of eternity.
11 Therefore the Lord is patient with them
and pours out his mercy upon them.
