Sirach 24:30–34
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.
34 Observe that I have not labored for myself alone,
but for all who seek instruction.e
