Ben Sira 38:32 In-Context

30 The noise of the hammer is always in his ears, and his eye is upon the pat tern of the vessel he maketh.

31 He setteth his mind to finish his work, and his watching to polish them, to perfection.

32 So doth the potter sitting at his work, turning the wheel about with his feet, who is always carefully set to his work, and maketh all his work by number:

33 He fashioneth the clay with his arm, and boweth down his strength before his feet:

34 He shall give his mind to finish the glazing, and his watching to make clean the furnace.
