Wisdom of Ben Sira 42:18-20
New Catholic Bible
18 He fathoms both the abyss and the human heart
and comprehends their innermost secrets.
For the Most High possesses all knowledge
and observes the signs of the times.[a]
19 He makes known the past and the future
and reveals the evidence of hidden things.
20 No thought escapes his notice,
and not a single thing is hidden from him.
