God created his works from the beginning and, as he made them, he assigned to each its place.
He arranged them for all time, their beginning and their unfolding. They do not hunger or grow weary and they never cease from their duties.
Not one has collided with its neighbor; they will never disobey his commands.
Afterward, the Lord looked down on the earth and filled it with his riches.
He covered its surface with all kinds of living things which must return to it.
Sirach 16:26-30
