28 From the dead thanksgiving has perished, since they are no longer alive;those who are alive and healthywill praise the Lord.
29 How great is the Lord’s mercy!How quickly is he reconciledwith those who turn back to him!
30 Human beings can’t do all things,because no person is immortal.
31 What shines brighter than the sun?Even that fails.Flesh and blood will hanker after evil.
32 The Lord examines the mightof heaven’s height,and all human beings are dust and ashes.
