Sirach 24:29
Print
Her thoughts are more plentiful than the sea; her counsel is deeper than the great abyss.
They that eat me, shall yet hunger: and they that drink me, shall yet thirst.
The possibilities of Wisdom are vaster than the ocean; her resources are more profound than the deepest waters beneath the earth.
For deeper than the sea are her thoughts, and her counsels, than the great abyss.
For her thoughts are more vast than the sea and her counsel more profound than the great abyss.
For her thoughts are more abundant than the sea, and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.
For her thoughts are more abundant than the sea, and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.
For her thoughts are more abundant than the sea, and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.
For her thoughts are more abundant than the sea and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.
for her thought is more abundant than the sea, and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.
for her thought is more abundant than the sea, and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.
For why the thought(s) thereof shall be (as) plenteous of (or as) the sea, that is, his knowing is more plenteous than the sea; and his counsel in the great ocean [or and the counsel of him in the great deepness] is uncomprehensible. I wisdom shedded out [or poured out] floods; I as a way, that is, a strong running, of full great water [or water without measure] of the flood.
