16 “All things are the works of the Lord, for they are very good,
    and whatever he commands will be done in his time.”

17 No one can say, “What is this?” “Why is that?”
    for in God’s[a] time all things will be sought after.

    and the reservoirs of water at the word of his mouth.
18 At his command whatever pleases him is done,
    and none can limit his saving power.
