In context

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.

11Therefore is God patient with them, And poureth forth his mercy upon them.

— Sirach 18:12 —

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.

14He hath mercy on them that receive discipline, And that diligently seek after his judgments.
