Wisdom of Ben Sira 33:12-14
New Catholic Bible
12 Some he has blessed and exalted,
sanctifying them and drawing them near to himself;
others he has cursed and humbled,
and removed from their position.
13 Like clay in the hands of a potter,
to be molded just as he pleases,
so are men in the hands of their Maker,
to be dealt with according to his justice.
14 Just as good is the opposite of evil, and life is the opposite of death,
so the sinner is the opposite of the godly.
