Sirach 43:27
Print
We could say many things and never say enough. The final word is: The Lord is “the All.”
There are great and wonderful works: a variety of beasts, and of all living things, and the monstrous creatures of whales.
We could say much more and never finish, but it all means this: the Lord is everything.
More than this we need not add; let the last word be, he is the all!
No matter how much we say, our words will never prove adequate; to sum it all up: “He is the all!”
We could say more but could never say enough; let the final word be: ‘He is the all.’
We could say more but could never say enough; let the final word be: ‘He is the all.’
We could say more but could never say enough; let the final word be: “He is the all.”
We could say more but could never say enough; let the final word be: “He is the all.”
Though we speak much we cannot reach the end, and the sum of our words is: “He is the all.”
Though we speak much we cannot reach the end, and the sum of our words is: “He is the all.”
We say many things, and (yet) we fail in words; forsooth he is the (full) ending of words. [Many things we say, and fail in words; full ending forsooth of words he is.]
