CHAPTER 20
3 The sun and the moon and the dances of the stars according to his appointment, in harmony and without any ᵃviolation of order, roll on the courses appointed to them.
4 The fruitful earth bringeth forth in due season, according to his will, abundant ᵃnourishment for men and beasts; nothing doubting, nor ᵇchanging in anything from the things that are decreed by him.
5 The unsearchable things of the abyss, and the secret ordinances of the lower parts of the earth, are held together by the same command.
6 The hollow of the vast ᵃsea, gathered together by his hand into its reservoirs, transgresseth not the bounds placed around it; but even as he hath appointed to it, so it doeth;
8 The ocean, impassable to men, and the worlds that are beyond it, are governed by the same commandments of their Master.
10 The fixed stations of the winds, each in their due time, perform their services without ᵃoffence. The ever-flowing fountains, made for enjoyment and ᵇhealth, offer their breasts without fail to sustain the lives of men. Even the smallest of animals come together in peace and harmony.
11 All these things the great Maker and Master of all things hath appointed to be in ᵃpeace and harmony, doing ᵇgood unto all things, but more especially unto us, who have fled for refuge to his ᶜmercies, through our Lord Jesus Christ,
12 to whom be glory and majesty for ever and ever. Amen.
