Ben Sira 18:7

7 When human beings have finished, they are just beginning, and when they stop, they are still perplexed.

Ben Sira 18:7 In-Context

5 Who can measure his majestic power? And who can fully recount his mercies?

6 It is not possible to diminish or increase them, nor is it possible to fathom the wonders of the Lord.

7 When human beings have finished, they are just beginning, and when they stop, they are still perplexed.

8 What are human beings, and of what use are they? What is good in them, and what is evil?

9 The number of days in their life is great if they reach one hundred years.
