Ben Sira 18:8

8 What is man, and whereto serveth he? What is his good, and what is his evil?

Ben Sira 18:8 In-Context

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.

10 As a drop of water unto the sea, and a gravelstone in comparison to the sand, so are a thousand years to the days of eternity.
