Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 24:28-33 Good News Bible Anglicised (GNBDC)

28. The first human being ever created never knew Wisdom completely, and the last person on earth will be no more successful.

29. The possibilities of Wisdom are vaster than the ocean; her resources are more profound than the deepest waters beneath the earth.

30. As for me, I thought of myself as an irrigation canal bringing water from a river into a garden.

31. I only intended to water my orchard and flower beds, but the canal soon became a river, and the river became a sea.

32. And so I present you with my learning; I hold it high, so that its light can be seen everywhere, like that of the rising sun.

33. Like an inspired prophet, I pour out my teachings, so that future generations can benefit from them.
