Ben Sira 33:14

14 Good is the opposite of evil, and life the opposite of death; so the sinner is the opposite of the godly.

Ben Sira 33:14 In-Context

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.

13 As clay in the hand of the potter -- for all his ways are as he pleases -- so men are in the hand of him who made them, to give them as he decides.

14 Good is the opposite of evil, and life the opposite of death; so the sinner is the opposite of the godly.

15 Look upon all the works of the Most High; they likewise are in pairs, one the opposite of the other.

16 I was the last on watch; I was like one who gleans after the grape-gatherers; by the blessing of the Lord I excelled, and like a grape-gatherer I filled my wine press.
