Wisdom of Ben Sira 24:31-33

New Catholic Bible

³¹ I said to myself, “I will water my garden
    and drench its flower beds.”
And suddenly my conduit became a river,
    and my river expanded into a sea.
³² I will again make learning shine forth like the dawn,
    so that its light may be seen far and wide.
³³ I will again pour out my teaching like prophecy
    and leave it as a legacy to future generations.
