17. At his word the waters become still as in a flask;he had but to speak and the reservoirs were made.
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.
