Sirach 24:29-31

Good News Translation

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. ³¹ I only intended to water my orchard and flower beds, but the canal soon became a river, and the river became a sea.
