Sirach 40:11

11 Everything that's from earth; returns to the earth; everything that's from water returns to the sea.

Sirach 40:11 In-Context

9 come death, blood, strife, sword, catastrophes, famine, ruin, and disease.

10 All these things were created for the lawless, and because of such people the flood happened.

11 Everything that's from earth; returns to the earth; everything that's from water returns to the sea.

12 All bribery and injustice will be wiped out, but good faith will last forever.

13 The money of the unjust will dry up like a river, and it will crash like loud thunder in a rainstorm.
