Sirach 24:39-43 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

39. For her thoughts abound like the sea, and her counsels abound like the great abyss.

40. "I, wisdom, have poured forth rivers.

41. I am like a brook leading to a river of immense waters. I am like a channel flowing from a river. And I went forth from Paradise like an aqueduct.

42. I said: I will irrigate my garden of plantings, and I will thoroughly water the fruits of my field.

43. And behold, my brook became overflowing, and my river drew near to the sea.
