Sirach 17:27-29

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁷ Give thanks whilst thou art living, whilst thou art alive and in health thou shalt give thanks, and shalt praise God, and shalt glory in his mercies.

²⁸ How great is the mercy of the Lord, and his forgiveness to them that turn to him!

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.
