Sirach 18:7

7 When people finish, then they are just beginning, and when they pause, then they are puzzled.

Sirach 18:7 In-Context

5 Who will measure the power of his greatness? Who will continue to recount his mercy?
6 It's impossible to diminish or to increase these things, and it's impossible to search out the wonders of the Lord.
7 When people finish, then they are just beginning, and when they pause, then they are puzzled.
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.
