Sirach 43:23-29 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

23. And it will devour the mountains, and burn the wilderness, and extinguish the greenery, like a fire.

24. Relief for all is in the hurried arrival of a cloud. And the lowly dew will arrive to meet the heat and overpower it.

25. At his word, the wind grows quiet, and by his thought, he appeases the abyss, for the Lord has planted islands in it.

26. Let those who navigate the sea describe its perils. And when we have heard it with our ears, we will wonder.

27. There are illustrious and wondrous works: the various kinds of wild animals, and all manner of cattle, and the great creatures of the sea.

28. Through him, the end of their journey is confirmed, and by his word, all things fit together.

29. We can say much, and yet still lack for words. But the consummation of our words is this: He is in all things.
