Ben Sira 39:17

17 No one should ask why things are as they are; these questions will be answered at the right time. He commanded, and the water piled up high, great walls of water arose when he spoke.

Ben Sira 39:17 In-Context

15 Proclaim his glory in grateful praise! To the music of the harp, sing this song:
16 All that the Lord has done is very good; all that he commands is sooner or later done.
17 No one should ask why things are as they are; these questions will be answered at the right time. He commanded, and the water piled up high, great walls of water arose when he spoke.
18 Whatever he commands is promptly done; there are no limits to his power to save.
19 He sees all that every human being does; there is no way to hide from his sight.
