Sirach 24:26-33 World English Bible (WEB)

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.

31. I said, I will water my garden, And will water abundantly my garden bed; And, behold, my stream became a river, And my river became a sea.

32. I will yet bring instruction to light as the morning, And will make these things to shine forth afar off.

33. I will yet pour out doctrine as prophecy, And leave it to generations of ages.
