Sirach 39:16-18
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
16 “All the works of the Lord are very good,
and whatever he commands will be done at the appointed time.(A)
17 No one can say, ‘What is this?’ or ‘Why is that?’—
for at the appointed time everything will be made known.
At his word the waters stood in a heap
and the reservoirs of water at the word of his mouth.(B)
18 At his command, his purpose is fulfilled,
and none can limit his saving power.(C)
