Ben Sira 33:15

15 Think about it: the Most High has made everything in pairs, each thing the opposite of something else.

Ben Sira 33:15 In-Context

13 Just as clay is in the potter's hands for him to shape as he pleases, so we are in the hands of our Creator for him to do with as he wishes.

14 Good is the opposite of evil, life is the opposite of death, and sin is the opposite of devotion to the Lord.

15 Think about it: the Most High has made everything in pairs, each thing the opposite of something else.

16 As for me, I have been the last to come on duty, as if going through vineyards to gather whatever the grape-pickers had left behind. But the Lord blessed me, and I did well, like a grape-picker who has filled the wine press.

17 But I want you to know that I have not done all this work for myself alone, but for everyone who wants to learn.
