Ben Sira 18:7

7 When a man hath done, then he beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.

Ben Sira 18:7 In-Context

5 Who shall number the strength of His majesty? And who shall also tell out His mercies?
6 As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing be taken from them; neither may any thing be put unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.
7 When a man hath done, then he beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.
8 What is man, and whereto serveth he? What is his good, and what is his evil?
9 The number of a man's days at the most are a hundred years.
