Ben Sira 39:17

17 No one can say, "What is this?' or "Why is that?'— for at the appointed time all such questions will be answered. At his word the waters stood in a heap, and the reservoirs of water at the word of his mouth.

15 Ascribe majesty to his name and give thanks to him with praise, with songs on your lips, and with harps; this is what you shall say in thanksgiving:
16 "All the works of the Lord are very good, and whatever he commands will be done at the appointed time.
17 No one can say, "What is this?' or "Why is that?'— for at the appointed time all such questions will be answered. At his word the waters stood in a heap, and the reservoirs of water at the word of his mouth.
18 When he commands, his every purpose is fulfilled, and none can limit his saving power.
19 The works of all are before him, and nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
