He that liveth for ever created all things together. God only shall be justified, and he remaineth an invincible king for ever. 2Who is able to declare his works? 3For who shall search out his glorious acts? 4And who shall show forth the power of his majesty? or who shall be able to declare his mercy? 5Nothing may be taken away, nor added, neither is it possible to find out the glorious works of God. 6When a man hath done, then shall he begin: and when he leaveth off, he shall be at a loss. 7What is man, and what is his grace? and what is his good, or what is his evil? 8The number of the days of men at the most are a hundred years, as a drop of water of the sea are they esteemed: and as a pebble of the sand, so are a few years compared to eternity. 9Therefore God is patient in them, and poureth forth his mercy upon them. 10He hath seen the presumption of their heart that it is wicked, and hath known their end that it is evil. 11Therefore hath he filled up his mercy in their favour, and hath shewn them the way of justice. 12The compassion of man is toward his neighbour: but the mercy of God is upon all flesh. 13He hath mercy, and teacheth, and correcteth, as a shepherd doth his flock. 14He hath mercy on him that receiveth the discipline of mercy, and that maketh haste in his judgments.
