Sirach 43:22-32 World English Bible (WEB)

22. A mist coming speedily is the healing of all things; A dew coming after heat shall bring cheerfulness.

23. By his counsel he has stilled the deep, And planted islands therein.

24. They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof; And when we hear it with our ears, we marvel.

25. Therein be also those strange and wondrous works, Variety of all that has life, the race of sea-monsters.

26. By reason of him his end has success, And by his word all things consist.

27. We may say many things, yet shall we not attain; And the sum of our words is, He is all.

28. How shall we have strength to glorify him? For he is himself the great one above all his works.

29. The Lord is terrible and exceeding great; And marvelous is his power.

30. When you⌃ glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as you⌃ can; For even yet will he exceed: And when you⌃ exalt him, put forth your full strength: Be not weary; for you⌃ will never attain.

31. Who has seen him, that he may declare him? And who shall magnify him as he is?

32. Many things are hidden greater than these; For we have seen but a few of his works.
