Sirach 17:31

31 What is brighter than the sun? yet the light thereof faileth; and flesh and blood will imagine evil.

Sirach 17:31 In-Context

29 How great is the lovingkindness of the Lord our God, and his compassion unto such as turn unto him in holiness!

30 For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal.

31 What is brighter than the sun? yet the light thereof faileth; and flesh and blood will imagine evil.

32 He vieweth the power of the height of heaven; and all men are but earth and ashes.
