Sirach 16:21

21 Most of his deeds are hidden like a hurricane that no one can see.

Sirach 16:21 In-Context

19 All at once the mountains and the foundations of the earth will shake together, quaking, when he looks upon them.

20 The mind cannot even think about these things. Who can ponder his ways?

21 Most of his deeds are hidden like a hurricane that no one can see.

22 Who will announce just actions? Or who will endure, since God's covenant is far off?"

23 Those who lack sense think this way; a foolish and misguided person thinks foolish things.
