Ben Sira 39:22

22 His blessings overflow like the Nile, enriching the world in a fertile flood.

Ben Sira 39:22 In-Context

20 He sees the whole of time, from beginning to end, and nothing takes him by surprise.

21 No one should ask why things are as they are; everything in creation has its purpose.

22 His blessings overflow like the Nile, enriching the world in a fertile flood.

23 He turns fresh water into salt water, and he turns his anger on the nations.

24 For the devout, his ways are straight; for the wicked, they are laid with traps.
