In context
14Good is set against evil, and life against death: So is the godly against the sinner, And the sinner against the godly.
15So look upon all the works of the most High; And there are two and two, one against another.
— Sirach 36:16 —
17O Lord have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, And upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.
18O be merciful unto Jerusalem, thy holy city, The place of thy rest.
