In context
9The number of a man’s days at the most is a hundred years.
10As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravel stone in comparison of the sand; So are a thousand years to the days of eternity.
— Sirach 18:11 —
12He saw and perceived their end to be evil; Therefore he multiplied his compassion.
13The mercy of man is toward his neighbor; But the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh: He reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth, And bringeth again, as a shepherd his flock.
