Sirach 16:16-18

Good News Translation

¹⁷ Never say,
    I will hide from the Lord. Nobody up there is going to give me a thought. How can I be noticed among so many people? The creation is so enormous, what am I worth? ¹⁸ When the Lord comes, everything will tremble: the earth and the great waters beneath it, the sky and the heavens above it.
