Sirach 42:17
The Lord has not allowed his holy ones to describe all of his wonders, which the Lord Almighty established so that the universe would stand firm in his glory.
Hath not the Lord made the saints to declare all his wonderful works, which the Lord Almighty hath firmly settled to be established for his glory?
Not even to his holy angels has the Lord given power to describe all his mighty deeds, even though he has given them power to stand unharmed in his glorious presence.
Yet even God’s holy ones must fail in recounting the wonders of the Lord, Though God has given his hosts the strength to stand firm before his glory.
Yet the Lord has not empowered even his holy ones to tell of all his marvelous works, which the Lord Almighty has accomplished so that the universe may stand firm in his glory.
The Lord has not empowered even his holy ones to recount all his marvellous works, which the Lord the Almighty has established so that the universe may stand firm in his glory.

The Lord has not empowered even his holy ones to recount all his marvelous works, which the Lord the Almighty has established so that the universe may stand firm in his glory.

The Lord has not enabled his holy ones to recount all his marvelous works, which the Lord the Almighty has established that the universe may stand firm in his glory.
Whether the Lord made not holy men to tell out all his marvels, which the Lord Almighty steadfast in his glory shall confirm? [Whether not the Lord made saints to tell out all his marvels, the which the Lord almighty shall confirm stable in his glory?]
