Ben Sira 40:3

3 From him that sitteth on a glorious throne, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes:

Ben Sira 40:3 In-Context

1 GREAT labour is created for all men, and a heavy yoke is upon the children of Adam, from the day of their coming out of their mother's womb, until the day of their burial into the mother of all.

2 Their thoughts, and fears of the heart, their imagination of things to come, and the day of their end:

3 From him that sitteth on a glorious throne, unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes:

4 From him that weareth purple, and beareth the crown, even to him that is covered with rough linen: wrath, envy, trouble, unquietness, and the fear of death, continual anger, and strife,

5 And in the time of rest upon his bed, the sleep of the night changeth his knowledge.
