Sirach 16:18-24 World English Bible (WEB)

18. Behold, the heaven, and the heaven of heavens, The deep, and the earth, shall be moved when he shall visit.

19. The mountains and the foundations of the earth together Are shaken with trembling, when he looks upon them.

20. And no heart shall think upon these things: And who shall conceive his ways?

21. And there is a tempest which no man shall see; Yes, the more part of his works are hid.

22. Who shall declare the works of his righteousness? Or who shall endure them? For his covenant is afar off.

23. He that is lacking in understanding thinks upon these things; And an unwise and erring man thinks follies.

24. My son, hearken to me, and learn knowledge, And give heed to my words with your heart.
