Sirach 42:17-19

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁷ The Lord has not empowered even his holy ones
    to recount all his marvelous works,
which the Lord the Almighty has established
    so that the universe may stand firm in his glory.^(A)
18 He searches out the abyss and the human heart;
    he understands their subtleties.^[a]
For the Most High knows all that may be known;
    he sees from of old the things that are to come.^[b](B)
19 He discloses what has been and what is to be,
    and he reveals the traces of hidden things.^(C)
