Sirach (Ecclesiasticus)

Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 39:17

πάντα γὰρ ἐν καιρῷ αὐτοῦ ζητηθήσεται. ἐν λόγῳ αὐτοῦ ἔστη ὡς θημωνία ὕδωρ, καὶ ἐν ρήματι στόματος αὐτοῦ ἀποδοχεῖα ὑδάτων.
King James Version (KJV)

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.

Modern English

No one can say, "What is this? Why is that?" for everything will be revealed in its proper time. At his command the waters stood up like a heap, and at the word of his mouth the basins that hold the waters were formed.
