Ben Sira 16:5

5 Many such things my eye has seen, and my ear has heard things more striking than these.

Ben Sira 16:5 In-Context

3 Do not trust in their survival, and do not rely on their multitude; for one is better than a thousand, and to die childless is better than to have ungodly children.

4 For through one man of understanding a city will be filled with people, but through a tribe of lawless men it will be made desolate.

5 Many such things my eye has seen, and my ear has heard things more striking than these.

6 In an assembly of sinners a fire will be kindled, and in a disobedient nation wrath was kindled.

7 He was not propitiated for the ancient giants who revolted in their might.
