1
He that liveth for ever created all things in general.
2
The Lord only is righteous, and there is none other but He,
3
who governeth the world with the palm of His hand, and all things obey His will; for He is the King of all, by His power dividing holy things among them from profane.
4
To whom hath He given power to declare His works? And who shall find out His noble acts?
5
Who shall number the strength of His majesty? And who shall also tell out His mercies?
6
As for the wondrous works of the Lord, there may nothing be taken from them; neither may any thing be put unto them, neither can the ground of them be found out.
7
When a man hath done, then he beginneth; and when he leaveth off, then he shall be doubtful.
8
What is man, and whereto serveth he? What is his good, and what is his evil?
