Ben Sira 17:32

32 The Lord can look out over all the stars in the sky. Human beings? They are dust and ashes.

Ben Sira 17:32 In-Context

30 But this is not the nature of human beings; not one of us is immortal.

31 Nothing is brighter than the sun, but even the sun's light fails during an eclipse. How much easier it is for human thoughts to be eclipsed by evil!

32 The Lord can look out over all the stars in the sky. Human beings? They are dust and ashes.
