Ben Sira 24:28

28 Just as the first man did not know her perfectly, the last one has not fathomed her;

Ben Sira 24:28 In-Context

26 It makes them full of understanding, like the Euphrates, and like the Jordan at harvest time.

27 It makes instruction shine forth like light, like the Gihon at the time of vintage.

28 Just as the first man did not know her perfectly, the last one has not fathomed her;

29 for her thought is more abundant than the sea, and her counsel deeper than the great abyss.

30 I went forth like a canal from a river and like a water channel into a garden.
