13 Like clay in the hands of a potter,to be molded according to his pleasure,So are people in the hands of their Maker,to be dealt with as he decides.
14 As evil contrasts with good, and death with life,so are sinners in contrast with the godly.
15 See now all the works of the Most High:they come in pairs, one the opposite of the other.
16 Now I am the last to keep vigil,like a gleaner following the grape-pickers;
17 Since by the Lord’s blessing I have made progresstill like a grape-picker I have filled my wine press,
18 Consider that not for myself only have I labored,but for all who seek instruction.
19 Listen to me, leaders of the people;rulers of the congregation, pay heed!
