Sirach 24:29-31

Common English Bible

²⁹ Her thoughts are more plentiful
than the sea;
    her counsel is deeper
    than the great abyss.^[a]
30 Like a canal from a river,
    like an irrigation channel,
    I went out into a garden.
³¹ I said, “I’ll water my garden,
    and I’ll drench my flower bed.
    And look! The canal
    turned into a river for me,
    and my river turned into a sea.
