Sirach 16:20-22
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
20 But no human mind can grasp this,
and who can comprehend his ways?
21 Like a tempest that no one can see,
so most of his works are concealed.[a]
22 Who is to announce his acts of justice?
Or who can await them? For his decree[b] is far off.’[c]
