Sirach 16:22
Who will announce just actions? Or who will endure, since God’s covenant is far off?”
For many of his works are hidden: hut the works of his justice who shall declare? or who shall endure? for the testament is far from some, and the examination of all is in the end.
If I do what is right, nobody will tell the Lord about it. Who wants to wait for him, anyway? He is too slow in doing what he has said he would.
Who tells him about just deeds? What can I expect for doing my duty?”
Who will report about his acts of justice? Or who can wait for them, since the covenant is far in the future [and a scrutiny for all comes at the end]?”
Who is to announce his acts of justice? Or who can await them? For his decree is far off.’
Who is to announce his acts of justice? Or who can await them? For his decree is far off.’
Who is to announce his acts of justice? Or who can await them? For his decree is far off.”
Who is to announce his acts of justice? Or who can await them? For his decree is far off.”
Who will announce his acts of justice? Or who will await them? For the covenant is far off.”
Who will announce his acts of justice? Or who will await them? For the covenant is far off.”
but who shall tell out the works of his rightfulness, either [or] who shall suffer (them)? For why the testament is far from some men; and the asking of men is in the ending.
