Ecclesiasticus 43:25-37 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

25. At his word the wind is still, and with his thought he appeaseth the deep, and the Lord hath planted islands therein.

26. Let them that sail on the sea, tell the dangers thereof: and when we hear with our ears, we shall admire.

27. There are great and wonderful works: a variety of beasts, and of all living things, and the monstrous creatures of whales.

28. Through him is established the end of their journey, and by his word all things are regulated.

29. We shall say much, and yet shall want words: but the sum of our words is, He is all.

30. What shall we be able to do to glorify him? for the Almighty himself is above all his works.

31. The Lord is terrible, and exceeding great, and his power is admirable.

32. Glorify the Lord as much as ever you can, for he will yet far exceed, and his magnificence is wonderful.

33. Blessing the Lord, exalt him as much as you can: for he is above all praise.

34. When you exalt him put forth all your strength, and be not weary: for you can never go far enough.

35. Who shall see him, and declare him? and who shall magnify him as he is from the beginning?

36. There are many things hidden from us that are greater than these: for we have seen but a few of his works.

37. But the Lord hath made all things, and to the godly he hath given wisdom.
