18 He has but to command and his will is done;nothing can limit his saving action.
19 The works of all humankind are present to him;nothing is hidden from his eyes.
20 His gaze spans all the ages:is there any limit to his saving action?To him, nothing is small or insignificant,and nothing too wonderful or hard for him.
21 No cause then to say: “What is the purpose of this?”Everything is chosen to satisfy a need.
22 His blessing overflows like the Nile;like the Euphrates it enriches the surface of the earth.
23 Even so, his wrath dispossesses the nationsand turns fertile land into a salt marsh.
24 For the virtuous his paths are level,to the haughty they are clogged with stones.
