Wisdom of Ben Sira 16:20-22
New Catholic Bible
20 What human mind can grasp this
or comprehend his ways?
21 Like a storm wind that is invisible,
so his works for the most part are concealed.
22 Who will report about his acts of justice?
Or who can wait for them, since the covenant[a] is far in the future
[and a scrutiny for all comes at the end]?”[b]
