God's wisdom: The life of a man is numbered by days, but the days of Israel are without number. Ben Sira 37:25

Ben Sira, with the intention of making men reflect on the highest and most excellent science, the wisdom, left important teachings in his sapiential book with a deep practical meaning, in order to introduce men into the mysteries of God.
The teacher of wisdom Ben Sira, when teaching about the promises and blessings associated with the wisdom of God in his book, mentioned what was until the time of Jesus for the christian faith, the greatest of his promises, Israel.
And he did this with the idea of teaching that men, no matter how long-lived and powerful they are, as for example the great kings of ancient times like Solomon and David, they must look with humility and simplicity of heart the work of God and his plan. Because when men are filled with arrogance and pride and despise the spiritual gift of fear of the Lord (constancy, firmness, devotion, equanimity, and stability), this does not lead them to anything good, and an example of this was Alexander the Great who, according to the Bible, was filled with pride and his life was short.
And with these words, Ben Sira expressed his wise thought: "The life of a man is numbered by days, but the days of Israel are without number" Ben Sira 37:25.
The sensible men must give glory to the only true God, the wise man remarked, because his eternal plans surpass the life and the intelligence of men, Israel was conceived with the promise made by God to the patriarch Abraham and was materially concretized with the arrival of the Hebrews to Canaan guided by the prophet Moses and Joshua centuries later. According to the wisdom of God, men are limited beings, but the glory of God and his promises are eternal.
