Sirach 42:18 In-Context

16 The shining sun looked down on everything, and the Lord's work is radiant with his glory.
17 The Lord has not allowed his holy ones to describe all of his wonders, which the Lord Almighty established so that the universe would stand firm in his glory.
18 He has searched the abyss and the heart, and he took their great achievements into consideration, because the Most High knew everything to be known. He saw the sign of the age,
19 explaining what has passed and what will be, and revealing the clues to things that are hidden.
20 No thought escaped him, and not a single word was hidden from him.
