Ben Sira 33:13

13 As the clay is in the potter's hand to fashion it at his pleasure, so man is in the hand of Him that made him, to render to them as He liketh best.

Ben Sira 33:13 In-Context

11 In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, and made their ways diverse.
12 Some of them hath He blessed and exalted, and some of them He sanctified and set near Himself; but some of them hath He cursed and brought low, and turned out of their places.
13 As the clay is in the potter's hand to fashion it at his pleasure, so man is in the hand of Him that made him, to render to them as He liketh best.
14 Good is set against evil, and life against death; so is the godly against the sinner, and the sinner against the godly.
15 So look upon all the works of the Most High; and there are two and two, one against another.
