Ben Sira 18:2

2 and he alone is just.

Ben Sira 18:2 In-Context

1 The Lord, who lives forever, created the whole universe,
2 and he alone is just.
4 He has given no one enough power to describe what he has done, and no one can investigate it completely.
5 Who can measure his majestic power? Who can tell the whole story of his merciful actions?
