Ben Sira 43:23 In-Context

21 He scorches the wilderness hills with drought, and the grass turns brown from its heat;

22 but a cloudy mist restores it all to life as the weather cools and dew appears.

23 By his wisdom he calmed the great oceans and placed the islands there.

24 Sailors tell about the dangers of the sea, and we listen to their tales in amazement.

25 In the sea are strange and marvelous creatures: huge monsters and all kinds of living things.
