Sirach 39:16-24
-
16 All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, and whatsoever he commandeth shall be accomplished in due season.
-
17 And none may say, What is this? wherefore is that? for at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth the receptacles of waters.
-
18 At his commandment is done whatsoever pleaseth him; and none can hinder, when he will save.
-
19 The works of all flesh are before him, and nothing can be hid from his eyes.
-
20 He seeth from everlasting to everlasting; and there is nothing wonderful before him.
-
21 A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is that? for he hath made all things for their uses.
-
22 His blessing covered the dry land as a river, and watered it as a flood.
-
23 As he hath turned the waters into saltness: so shall the heathen inherit his wrath.
-
24 As his ways are plain unto the holy; so are they stumblingblocks unto the wicked.
