Sirach 42:23

23 All these things live and remain forever in every circumstance, and everything obeys him.

Sirach 42:23 In-Context

21 He ordered the splendors of his wisdom. He remains the same from the beginning of time all the way to eternity. Nothing can be added to him nor be taken away, and he needed no one to give him advice.
22 How desirable are all of his works, and how brilliant they are to look upon.
23 All these things live and remain forever in every circumstance, and everything obeys him.
24 All things exist in pairs, one opposite the other, and he made nothing that was incomplete.
25 Each thing strengthens the good parts of the other; who can get enough of seeing God's glory?
