Sirach 39:15-17

Common English Bible

¹⁶ All the works of the Lord are very good.
    Every command of his
    will be carried out in its proper time.
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.
