Sirach 24:28-30

Good News Translation

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.
