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

Sirach 18:8 In-Context

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.

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