Sirach 24:16-30 World English Bible (WEB)

16. As the terebinth I stretched out my branches; And my branches are branches of glory and grace.

17. As the vine I put forth grace; And my flowers are the fruit of glory and riches.

19. Come to me, you⌃ that are desirous of me, And be you⌃ filled with my produce.

20. For my memorial is sweeter than honey, And mine inheritance than the honeycomb.

21. They that eat me shall yet be hungry; And they that drink me shall yet be thirsty.

22. He that obeys me shall not be ashamed; And they that work in me shall not do amiss.

23. All these things are the book of the covenant of the Most High God, Even the law which Moses commanded us for a heritage to the assemblies of Jacob.

25. It is he that makes wisdom abundant, as Pishon, And as Tigris in the days of new fruits;

26. That makes understanding full as Euphrates, And as Jordan in the days of harvest;

27. That makes instruction to shine forth as the light, As Gihon in the days of vintage.

28. The first man knew her not perfectly; And in like manner the last has not traced her out.

29. For her thoughts are filled from the sea, And her counsels from the great deep.

30. And I came out as a stream from a river, And as a conduit into a garden.
