1. He that lives for ever created all things in common.
2. The Lord alone shall be justified.
4. To none has he given power to declare his works: And who shall trace out his mighty deeds?
5. Who shall number the strength of his majesty? And who shall also tell out his mercies?
6. As for the wondrous works of the Lord, it is not possible to take from them nor add to them, Neither is it possible to track them out.
7. When a man has finished, then he is but at the beginning; And when he ceaseth, then shall he be in perplexity.
8. What is man, and whereto serves he? What is his good, and what is his evil?
9. The number of man’s days at the most are a hundred years.
10. As a drop of water from the sea, and a pebble from the sand; So are a few years in the day of eternity.
11. For this cause the Lord was longsuffering over them, And poured out his mercy upon them.
