Sirach 39:17-19

Common English Bible

¹⁷ It’s not for us to say,
    “What’s this?” or
    “For what purpose is that?”
    Everything will be examined
    at its proper time.
At his command water piled up in a heap,
    and by his spoken word
    reservoirs of water stood erect.
¹⁸ His command accomplishes
his good pleasure,
    and no one can diminish
    the deliverance he intends.
¹⁹ The works of all living beings
are before him;
    nothing can hide from his eyes.
