Sirach 1:2 In-Context

1 All wisdom comes from the Lord. It lives with him forever.

2 Who can count the grains of sand in the seas, the drops of rain, or the days of eternity?

3 Who can discover heaven's height, the earth's breadth, the abyss, or wisdom?

4 Wisdom was created before everything else. Right understanding is as old as eternity.
