Sirach 42:17-23 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

17. Has not the Lord caused the holy ones to describe all his miracles, which the all-powerful Lord has firmly established in his glory?

18. He has examined the abyss and the hearts of men. And he has considered their astuteness.

19. For the Lord comprehends all knowledge, and he has gazed upon the signs of the times: announcing the things of the past, as well as the things of the future, and revealing the traces of hidden things.

20. No thought passes by him unnoticed, and no word can conceal itself from him.

21. He has adorned the magnificent works of his wisdom. He is before eternity and even unto eternity. And nothing can be added,

22. and nothing can be taken away. And he has no need of any counselor.

23. O how desirable are all his works! And all that we consider is but a spark.
