Sirach 18:10

10 Like a drop of water from the sea or a grain of sand, so are a few years in the span of eternity.

Sirach 18:10 In-Context

8 What are human beings, and what use are they? What's good about them, and what's evil about them?

9 The length of a person's life is as much as one hundred years.

10 Like a drop of water from the sea or a grain of sand, so are a few years in the span of eternity.

11 Therefore, the Lord was patient with them, and he poured out his mercy upon them.

12 He saw and knew that their end was terrible; therefore, his willingness to be reconciled increased.
