Sirach 24:30-32

Common English Bible

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.
³² I’ll continue to make instruction
shine forth like the dawn,
    and I’ll make things clear
    to those who are far off.
