Re: Sirach’s advice for young people. Some of my favorite advice from
Sirach 42 and 43: “The Glory of God in Nature”
Chapter 42
16 The light of the sun shines down on everything, and everything is filled
with the Lord’s glory.
18 *He sees into the oceans and he knows the secrets of the human
heart
22 All *his works are beautiful, down to the smallest and faintest spark of light.
Chapter 43
11 Look at the rainbow and praise its Creator! How magnificent, how radiant its beauty!
12 Like a bow bent by the hands of the Most High, it spans the horizon
in a circle of glory.
14 The storerooms of the sky are thrown open, and the clouds roll out like
flying birds.
17 *He sends the snow fluttering down like birds…
17 Whenever *he wishes, the south wind blows…
19 *He sprinkles frost over the ground like salt, and it freezes into thorny flowers of ice.
20 *He sends the cold north wind blowing…every lake and pond freezes over… putting on a coat of icy armor.
27 We could say much more and never finish, but it all means this: the Lord is everything.
28 How can we find the power to praise *him? *He is greater than all his creation.
29 The Lord is awesome in *his greatness.
*(These vss. are from an old Good News Bible, OT,1976; NT, 1979, BGD+)
