Sirach 24:10-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

10. and in every nation, I have held primacy.

11. And by virtue, I have tread upon the hearts of all, the great and the lowly. And I have sought my rest in all of them. And I will continue, as the inheritance of the Lord.

12. Then the Creator of all things instructed and spoke with me. And the One who created me rested in my tabernacle.

13. And he said to me: 'Let your dwelling place be with Jacob, and let your inheritance be in Israel, for you shall take root among my elect.'

14. From the beginning, and before the world, I was created. And even unto the future world, I will not cease to exist. For I have ministered before him in the holy habitation.
