Sirach 42:15 In-Context

13 Moths come out of clothes, and a woman's wickedness comes from a woman.

14 A man's wickedness is better than a woman who does good and a disgraced woman who brings shame.

15 Now I'll call to mind the works of the Lord, and I'll tell about what I've seen. The Lord's works came into being by his words.

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.
