Baruch 3:30-38 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

30. Who has crossed the sea, and found her, and brought her, chosen instead of gold?

31. There is no one who is able to know her ways, nor any who can search out her paths.

32. Yet he who knows the universe is familiar with her, and in his foresight he invented her, he who prepared the earth for time without end, and filled it with cattle and four-footed beasts,

33. who sends out the light, and it goes, and who summoned it, and it obeyed him in fear.

34. Yet the stars have given light from their posts, and they rejoiced.

35. They were called, and so they said, "Here we are," and they shined with cheerfulness to him who made them.

36. This is our God, and no other can compare to him.

37. He invented the way of all instruction, and delivered it to Jacob his child, and to Israel his beloved.

38. After this, he was seen on earth, and he conversed with men.
