Sirach 23:19-21
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 His fear is confined to human eyes,
and he does not realize that the eyes of the Lord
are ten thousand times brighter than the sun;
they look upon every aspect of human behavior
and see into hidden corners.(A)
20 Before the universe was created, it was known to him,
and so it is since its completion.(B)
21 This man will be punished in the streets of the city,
and where he least suspects it he will be seized.(C)
