In context
7When a man hath done, then he beginneth; And when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.
8What is man, and whereto serveth he; What is his good, and what is his evil?
— Sirach 18:9 —
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.
