Ben Sira 24:28

28 The first man did not know wisdom fully, nor will the last one fathom her.

Ben Sira 24:28 In-Context

26 It runs over, like the Euphrates, with understanding, and like the Jordan at harvest time.

27 It pours forth instruction like the Nile, like the Gihon at the time of vintage.

28 The first man did not know wisdom fully, nor will the last one fathom her.

29 For her thoughts are more abundant than the sea, and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.

30 As for me, I was like a canal from a river, like a water channel into a garden.
