Ben Sira 42:15

15 I will now call to mind the works of the Lord, and will declare what I have seen. By the word of the Lord his works are made; and all his creatures do his will.

Ben Sira 42:15 In-Context

13 for from garments comes the moth, and from a woman comes woman's wickedness.
14 Better is the wickedness of a man than a woman who does good; it is woman who brings shame and disgrace.
15 I will now call to mind the works of the Lord, and will declare what I have seen. By the word of the Lord his works are made; and all his creatures do his will.
16 The sun looks down on everything with its light, and the work of the Lord is full of his glory.
17 The Lord has not empowered even his holy ones to recount all his marvelous works, which the Lord the Almighty has established so that the universe may stand firm in his glory.
