18 1He who lives for ever created the whole universe;
God's greatness. Sir.18.1-7Ὁ ζῶν εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα ἔκτισεν τὰ πάντα κοινῇ·
2the Lord alone will be declared righteous.
 κύριος μόνος δικαιωθήσεται.
2the Lord alone will be declared righteous.
 οὐθενὶ ἐξεποίησεν ἐξαγγεῖλαι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ·
καὶ τίς ἐξιχνεύσει τὰ μεγαλεῖα αὐτοῦ;
4To none has he given power to proclaim his works;
and who can search out his mighty deeds?
 κράτος μεγαλωσύνης αὐτοῦ τίς ἐξαριθμήσεται;
καὶ τίς προσθήσει ἐκδιηγήσασθαι τὰ ἐλέη αὐτοῦ;
5Who can measure his majestic power?
And who can fully recount his mercies?
 οὐκ ἔστιν ἐλαττῶσαι οὐδὲ προσθεῖναι,
καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐξιχνιάσαι τὰ θαυμάσια τοῦ κυρίου·
6It is not possible to diminish or increase them,
nor is it possible to trace the wonders of the Lord.
 ὅταν συντελέσῃ ἄνθρωπος, τότε ἄρχεται·
καὶ ὅταν παύσηται, τότε ἀπορηθήσεται.
7When a man has finished, he is just beginning,
and when he stops, he will be at a loss.
 Τί ἄνθρωπος, καὶ τί ἡ χρῆσις αὐτοῦ;
τί τὸ ἀγαθὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ τί τὸ κακὸν αὐτοῦ;
