Ben Sira 16:27-30 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

27. He arranged for all time what they were to do,their domains from generation to generation.They were not to go hungry or grow weary,or ever cease from their tasks.

28. Never does a single one crowd its neighbor,or do any ever disobey his word.

29. Then the Lord looked upon the earth,and filled it with his blessings.

30. Its surface he covered with every kind of living creaturewhich must return into it again.
