menu_book Verse in Context

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 patient over them, and poured out his mercy upon them.

12 He saw and perceived their end, that it is evil. Therefore he multiplied his forgiveness.

13 The mercy of a man is on his neighbor; but the mercy of the Lord is on all flesh: reproving, chastening, teaching, and bringing back, as a shepherd does his flock.
