9 Some he exalts and sanctifies,and others he lists as ordinary days.
10 Likewise, all people are of clay,and from earth humankind was formed;
11 In the fullness of his knowledge the Lord distinguished them,and he designated their different ways.
12 Some he blessed and exalted,and some he sanctified and drew to himself.Others he cursed and brought low,and expelled them from their place.
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.
