Ben Sira 18:9 In-Context

7 What is man, and what is his grace? and what is his good, or what is his evil?
8 The number of the days of men at the most are a hundred years: as a drop of water of the sea are they esteemed: and as a pebble of the sand, so are a few years compared to eternity.
9 Therefore God is patient in them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them.
10 He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil.
11 Therefore bath he filled up his mercy in their favour, and hath shewn them the way of justice.
