Sirach 24:35 CPDV

³³  Moses commanded the law by the precepts of justice, and an inheritance to the house of Jacob, and the promises to Israel.

³⁴  God appointed David as his servant, in order to raise up from him a most mighty King, who would sit upon the throne of honor forever.

³⁵  It is he who fulfills wisdom, like the Phison river and the Tigris river in the first days.

³⁶  It is he who fulfills understanding, like the river Euphrates. It is he who multiplies understanding, like the river Jordan in the time of the harvest.

³⁷  He sends forth discipline like the light, and he stands forth like the river Gehon in the time of the vintage.
