Ben Sira 23:20

20 He knew all things ere ever they were created; so also after they were perfected he looked upon them all.

Ben Sira 23:20 In-Context

18 A man that breaketh wedlock, saying thus in his heart, Who seeth me? I am compassed about with darkness, the walls cover me, and no body seeth me; what need I to fear? the most High will not remember my sins:

19 Such a man only feareth the eyes of men, and knoweth not that the eyes of the Lord are ten thousand times brighter than the sun, beholding all the ways of men, and considering the most secret parts

20 He knew all things ere ever they were created; so also after they were perfected he looked upon them all.

21 This man shall be punished in the streets of the city, and where he suspecteth not he shall be taken

22 Thus shall it go also with the wife that leaveth her husband, and bringeth in an heir by another.
