Sirach 17:29-31

Good News Translation

²⁹ How great is the Lord's merciful forgiveness of those who turn to him! ³⁰ But this is not the nature of human beings;^[a] not one of us is immortal. ³¹ Nothing is brighter than the sun, but even the sun's light fails during an eclipse. How much easier it is for human thoughts to be eclipsed by evil!
