Wisdom of Ben Sira 24:29-31

New Catholic Bible

²⁹ For her thoughts are more vast than the sea
    and her counsel more profound than the great abyss.
³⁰ As for me, I was like a conduit from a river,
    like a stream into a garden.
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.
