Sirach 40:3
Print
From the person who sits upon a glorious throne down to the person brought low in dust and ashes,
From him that sitteth on a glorious throne, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes:
all of us from the king on his splendid throne wearing royal robes and a crown, to the humblest person dressed in burlap and living in poverty.
Whether one sits on a lofty throne or grovels in dust and ashes,
Whether he sits in splendor on a throne or grovels in dust and ashes,
From the one who sits on a splendid throne to the one who grovels in dust and ashes,
From the one who sits on a splendid throne to the one who grovels in dust and ashes,
From the one who sits on a splendid throne to the one who grovels in dust and ashes,
From the one who sits on a splendid throne to the one who grovels in dust and ashes,
from the man who sits on a splendid throne to the one who is humbled in dust and ashes,
from the man who sits on a splendid throne to the one who is humbled in dust and ashes,
from him that sitteth before on a glorious seat (or on a throne of glory), unto a man made low into earth and ashes;
