18 LIBER IESU FILII SIRACH Syrach - Wycliffe Bible(14c) Ecclesiasticus - Douay Rheims(17c) Reference
8Numerus dierum hominum, ut multum centum anni, quasi gutta aquæ maris deputati sunt: et sicut calculus arenæ, sic exigui anni in die ævi. Man is nothing. Sir.18.8-14
9Propter hoc patiens est Deus in illis, et effundit super eos misericordiam suam.  
10Vidit præsumptionem cordis eorum, quoniam mala est: et cognovit subversionem illorum, quoniam nequam est.  
11Ideo adimplevit propitiationem suam in illis, et ostendit eis viam æquitatis.  
12Miseratio hominis circa proximum suum: misericordia autem Dei super omnem carnem.  
13Qui misericordiam habet, docet et erudit quasi pastor gregem suum.  
14Miseretur excipientis doctrinam miserationis, et qui festinat in judiciis ejus.  

Notes: For the Bible in Latin, I have used the Vulgate text at the Clementine Vulgate Project website.
The only English translations from the Vulgate that are readily available are John Wycliffe's 14th century English Bible, and the the Douay Rheims/Challoner versions. I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats. I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website. You can view the Douay Rheims Bible in a more readable format at DRBO.ORG website.
The katapi New Study Bible reference section: displays links to parallel passages. Passage headings are generally as printed in the Bible Society's "Good News Bible", 1976. To view the Greek Text on this page, you will need a Unicode font capable of displaying extended Greek characters. To find out about Unicode fonts, go to Alan Wood's Unicode Resources.
