Sirach 24:30-32

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

³⁰ I came forth 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 look, my canal became a river
    and my river a sea.^(A)
32 I will again make instruction shine forth like the dawn,
    and I will make it clear from far away.
