The order of God’s creation

16:24 The order of God’s creation

24 My son, listen to me, learn knowledge,

and heed my words with your heart.

25 I will impart instruction with precision,

and declare knowledge exactly.

26 In the judgement of the master are his works from the beginning.

From the making of them he determined their boundaries.

27 He arranged his works for all time,

and their beginnings to their generations.

They aren’t hungry or weary,

and they don’t cease from their works.

28 No one pushes aside his neighbour.

They will never disobey his word.

29 After this also the master looked at the earth

and filled it with his blessings.

30 All manner of living things covered its surface,

and they return into it.
