Sirach 18:11

⁹The number of a man’s days at the most are an hundred years.

¹⁰As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravelstone 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 neighbour; but the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh: he reproveth, and nurtureth, and teacheth and bringeth again, as a shepherd his flock.
