Ben Sira 24:31

31 I said, "I will water my orchard and drench my garden plot"; and lo, my canal became a river, and my river became a sea.

Ben Sira 24:31 In-Context

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.
31 I said, "I will water my orchard and drench my garden plot"; and lo, my canal became a river, and my river became a sea.
32 I will again make instruction shine forth like the dawn, and I will make it shine afar;
33 I will again pour out teaching like prophecy, and leave it to all future generations.
