When He listeth, and as He listeth, He will do all things; and nothing shall pass away of those things that He hath decreed. (1CL) 6 All things are in His sight, and nothing escapeth His counsel, (1CL) 7 seeing that The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaimeth His handiwork. Day uttereth word unto day, and night proclaimeth knowledge unto night; and there are neither words nor speeches, whose voices are not heard . (1CL)
