Ben Sira 33:10

10 All men are from the ground, and Adam was created of the dust.

Ben Sira 33:10 In-Context

8 By the Lord's decision they were distinguished, and he appointed the different seasons and feasts;

9 some of them he exalted and hallowed, and some of them he made ordinary days.

10 All men are from the ground, and Adam was created of the dust.

11 In the fulness of his knowledge the Lord distinguished them and appointed their different ways;

12 some of them he blessed and exalted, and some of them he made holy and brought near to himself; but some of them he cursed and brought low, and he turned them out of their place.
