Sirach 24:30-32

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

³⁰ As for me, I was like a canal from a river,
    like a water channel into a garden.
³¹ I said, ‘I will water my garden
    and drench my flower-beds.’
And lo, my canal became a river,
    and my river a sea.
³² I will again make instruction shine forth like the dawn,
    and I will make it clear from far away.
