Wisdom of Ben Sira 24:27-29
New Catholic Bible
27 It pours forth instruction like the Nile,[a]
like the Gihon at the time of vintage.
28 The first man never fully comprehended wisdom,
nor will the last succeed in understanding her.
29 For her thoughts are more vast than the sea
and her counsel more profound than the great abyss.
