Sirach 39:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁶ All that the Lord has done is very good;
    all that he commands is sooner or later done.
¹⁷ No one should ask why things are as they are;
    these questions will be answered at the right time.
He commanded, and the water piled up high,
    great walls of water arose when he spoke.
¹⁸ Whatever he commands is promptly done;
    there are no limits to his power to save.
