Sirach 24:37 CPDV

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.

³⁸  He first had perfect knowledge of her, for a weaker one would not search for her.

³⁹  For her thoughts abound like the sea, and her counsels abound like the great abyss.
