Wisdom of Ben Sira 38:30-32

New Catholic Bible

³⁰ He molds the clay with his hands
    and softens it with his feet.
He concentrates on doing the glazing correctly
    and stays up late to clean the furnace.
³¹ All of these workers rely on their hands,
    and all are experts in their craft.
³² Without them no city would be constructed,
    neither could people live or walk in one.^[a]
