Ben Sira 24:7

7 Among all these I sought a resting place; in whose territory should I abide?

Ben Sira 24:7 In-Context

5 Alone I compassed the vault of heaven and traversed the depths of the abyss.

6 Over waves of the sea, over all the earth, and over every people and nation I have held sway.

7 Among all these I sought a resting place; in whose territory should I abide?

8 "Then the Creator of all things gave me a command, and my Creator chose the place for my tent. He said, "Make your dwelling in Jacob, and in Israel receive your inheritance.'

9 Before the ages, in the beginning, he created me, and for all the ages I shall not cease to be.
