Sirach 39:17-19
RSV NAB KJV DR LV BNV
39:17 No one can say, "What is this?" "Why is that?" for in God's time all things will be sought after. At his word the waters stood in a heap, and the reservoirs of water at the word of his mouth. 39:17 At his word the waters become still as in a flask; he had but to speak and the reservoirs were made. 39:17 And none may say, What is this? wherefore is that? for at time convenient they shall all be sought out: at his commandment the waters stood as an heap, and at the words of his mouth the receptacles of waters. 39:17 By a voice he saith: Hear me, 1ye divine offspring, and bud forth as the rose planted by the brooks of waters. 39:17 in voce dicit obaudite me divini fructus et quasi rosa plantata super rivum aquarum fructificate 39:17 Obaudite me, filii pii,
et quasi rosa plantata super rivos aquarum florebit caro vestra;
39:18 At his command whatever pleases him is done, and none can limit his saving power. 39:18 He has but to command and his will is done; nothing can limit his achievement. 39:18 At his commandment is done whatsoever pleaseth him; and none can hinder, when he will save. 39:18 Give ye a sweet odour as frankincense. 39:18 quasi libanus odorem suavitatis habete 39:18 quasi libanus odorem suavitatis habete,
39:19 The works of all flesh are before him, and nothing can be hid from his eyes. 39:19 The works of all mankind are present to him; not a thing escapes his eye. 39:19 The works of all flesh are before him, and nothing can be hid from his eyes. 39:19 Send forth flowers, as the lily, and yield a smell, and bring forth leaves in grace, and praise with canticles, and bless the Lord in his works. 39:19 florete flores quasi lilium date odorem et frondete in gratiam et conlaudate canticum et benedicite Dominum in operibus suis 39:19 florete flores quasi lilium.
Date vocem et collaudate canticum
et benedicite Dominum in omnibus operibus suis.
These tools are brought to you free of charge by The Cross Reference, a Catholic blog run by Jeff Pinyan, covering a wide array of topics (from liturgy to apologetics, from study of Holy Scripture to current events). None of the content from these tools is property of The Cross Reference, and all of it is found elsewhere on the Internet already. These tools exist simply to make it easier to search the various sources represented here, as well as to further the glorification of God and the sanctification of His Church. If they contribute to any of these goals, I am pleased (and I hope He is too).

I am aware of certain gaps (lacunas) in the Douay-Rheims, Latin Vulgate, and New Vulgate texts; if you find one, feel free to email me about it so I can take care of it. I will also get around to loading the footnotes for the Douay-Rheims text.

If you found these tools useful, please let your friends, family, and local church know about them (and let me know you let them know!). If you encountered problems, have suggestions for improvements, or have questions, comments, or compliments, feel free to email the author of these tools at his gmail.com account, TheCrossReference.

The Catechism search tool has been approved by the USCCB Subcommittee on the Catechism.
