Sirach 1:2-4

Wycliffe Bible

² Who numbered the gravel of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of the world?

³ Who measured the highness [or the height] of heaven, and the breadth of (the) earth, and the depth of the sea? Who ensearched (or searched for) the wisdom of God, that goeth before all things?

⁴ Wisdom was formed first of all things, and the understanding of prudence, from the world, that is, from without beginning.
