Bless the God of all

Overview & Insights
"And now bless the God of all, who everywhere works great wonders." (Sirach 50:22)
The sage closes his praise of Israel's history by calling the assembly to bless the God of all who does great things everywhere. He prays that God would grant gladness of heart and lasting peace to his people. Sirach is a deuterocanonical book, so verse-by-verse Protestant commentary is thin.
