Ben Sira 24:25-29 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

25. It overflows, like the Pishon, with wisdom,and like the Tigris at the time of first fruits.

26. It runs over, like the Euphrates, with understanding,and like the Jordan at harvest time.

27. It floods like the Nile with instruction,like the Gihon at vintage time.

28. The first human being never finished comprehending wisdom,nor will the last succeed in fathoming her.

29. For deeper than the sea are her thoughts,and her counsels, than the great abyss.
