Sirach 42:16-24 World English Bible (WEB)

16. The sun that gives light looks upon all things; And the work of the Lord is full of his glory.

17. The Lord has not given power to the saints to declare all his marvelous works; Which the Almighty Lord firmly settled, That whatever is might be established in his glory.

18. He searcheth out the deep, and the heart, And he has understanding of their cunning devices: For the Most High knows all knowledge, And he looks into the signs of the world,

19. Declaring the things that are past, and the things that shall be, And revealing the traces of hidden things.

20. No thought escapes him; There is not a word hid from him.

21. The mighty works of his wisdom he has ordered, Who is from everlasting to everlasting: Nothing has been added to them, nor diminished from them; And he had no need of any counsellor.

22. How desirable are all his works! One may behold this even to a spark.

23. All these things live and remain for ever in all manner of uses, And they are all obedient.

24. All things are double one against another: And he has made nothing imperfect.
