Ben Sira 33:13

13 Just as clay is in the potter's hands for him to shape as he pleases, so we are in the hands of our Creator for him to do with as he wishes.

Ben Sira 33:13 In-Context

11 But the Lord, in his wisdom, made them all different and gave them different tasks.

12 He blessed some, making them honored and holy, keeping them near him. Others he cursed, humbling them and removing them from their positions.

13 Just as clay is in the potter's hands for him to shape as he pleases, so we are in the hands of our Creator for him to do with as he wishes.

14 Good is the opposite of evil, life is the opposite of death, and sin is the opposite of devotion to the Lord.

15 Think about it: the Most High has made everything in pairs, each thing the opposite of something else.
