Sirach 39:12

Praise of the creator

12 I'll speak of other things I've been thinking, since I was filled like the full moon.

Sirach 39:12 In-Context

10 The nations will speak of their wisdom, and the congregation will proclaim their praise.

11 If they live a long time, they will leave behind a name greater than a thousand names, and if they find rest, it will be enough for them.

12 I'll speak of other things I've been thinking, since I was filled like the full moon.

13 Listen to me, faithful children, and blossom like a rose growing near a running stream.

14 Send forth a fragrant aroma like incense, and bloom with blossoms like a lily. Raise your voice, give praise together, and bless the Lord for all his works.
