Sirach 24:30–33
The Revised Standard VersionOther versions
30I went forth like a canal from a river
and like a water channel into a garden.
31I said, “I will water my orchard
and drench my garden plot”;
and lo, my canal became a river,
and my river became a sea.
32I will again make instruction shine forth like the dawn,
and I will make it shine afar;
33I will again pour out teaching like prophecy,
and leave it to all future generations.
