Ben Sira 43:23

23 By his counsel he stilled the great deep and planted islands in it.

Ben Sira 43:23 In-Context

21 He consumes the mountains and burns up the wilderness, and withers the tender grass like fire.
22 A mist quickly heals all things; when the dew appears, it refreshes from the heat.
23 By his counsel he stilled the great deep and planted islands in it.
24 Those who sail the sea tell of its dangers, and we marvel at what we hear.
25 for in it are strange and marvelous works, all kinds of living things, and huge creatures of the sea.
