{42:21} He has adorned the magnificent works of his wisdom. He is before eternity and even unto eternity. And nothing can be added,
{42:22} and nothing can be taken away. And he has no need of any counselor.
{42:23} O how desirable are all his works! And all that we consider is but a spark.
{42:24} All these works exist, and they remain in the present age, and they all obey him in every purpose.
{42:25} All things are two-fold, one facing another, and he has not made anything to be lacking.
{42:26} He has confirmed each thing as good. And who would tire of beholding his glory?

{42:16} The sun illuminates and considers all things, and its work shows the fullness of the glory of the Lord.
{42:17} Has not the Lord caused the holy ones to describe all his miracles, which the all-powerful Lord has firmly established in his glory?
{42:18} He has examined the abyss and the hearts of men. And he has considered their astuteness.
{42:19} For the Lord comprehends all knowledge, and he has gazed upon the signs of the times: announcing the things of the past, as well as the things of the future, and revealing the traces of hidden things.
{42:20} No thought passes by him unnoticed, and no word can conceal itself from him.
