New Testament

Sirach 18:4-8 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

4. And who will announce the power of his magnitude? Or who would be able to describe his mercy?

5. There is no diminishing, and no increasing, and there is no discovering, the greatness of God.

6. When man has reached the end, then he will begin. And when he ceases, he will be in need.

7. What is man, and what is his grace? And what is his good, or what is his evil?

8. The number of the days of men are as many as one hundred years. Like a drop of water in the ocean, so they are considered to be. And like a grain of sand on the shore, so do these few years compare to the days of all time.
