Sirach 17:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁹ For all things cannot be in men, because the son of man is not immortal, and they are delighted with the vanity of evil.

³⁰ What is brighter than the sun; yet it shall be eclipsed. Or what is more wicked than that which flesh and blood hath invented? and this shall be reproved.

³¹ He beholdeth the power of the height of heaven: and all men are earth and ashes.
