Sirach 24:9 CPDV

⁷  I lived in the highest places, and my throne is in the pillar of a cloud.

⁸  I alone have encompassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated to the depths of the abyss, and have walked upon the waves of the sea,

⁹  and have stood upon the whole earth. And among every people,

¹⁰  and in every nation, I have held primacy.

¹¹  And by virtue, I have tread upon the hearts of all, the great and the lowly. And I have sought my rest in all of them. And I will continue, as the inheritance of the Lord.
