Ben Sira 40:11

11 All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth again, and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea.

Ben Sira 40:11 In-Context

9 Death and bloodshed, strife and sword, calamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge--

10 these things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.

11 All things that are of the earth shall turn to the earth again, and that which is of the waters doth return into the sea.

12 All bribery and injustice shall be blotted out, but true dealing shall endure for ever.

13 The goods of the unjust shall be dried up like a river, and shall vanish with noise like a great thunder in rain.
