Why doth one day excel another, and one light another, and one year another year, when all come of the sun? 8By the knowledge of the Lord they were distinguished, the sun being made, and keeping his commandment. 9And he ordered the seasons, and holidays of them, and in them they celebrated festivals at an hour. 10Some of them God made high and great days, and some of them he put in the number of ordinary days. And all men are from the ground, and out of the earth, from whence Adam was created. 11With much knowledge the Lord hath divided them and diversified their ways. 12Some of them hath he blessed, and exalted: and some of them hath he sanctified, and set near himself: and some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned them from their station. 13As the potter's clay is in his hand, to fashion and order it: 14All his ways are according to his ordering: so man is in the hand of him that made him, and he will render to him according to his judgment. 15Good is set against evil, and life against death: so also is the sinner against a just man. And so look upon all the works of the most High. Two and two, and one against another.
