Ben Sira 39:16-18
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
16 The works of God are all of them good;
he supplies for every need in its own time.(A)
17 At his word the waters become still as in a flask;
he had but to speak and the reservoirs were made.(B)
18 He has but to command and his will is done;
nothing can limit his saving action.
