Sirach 24:34-39

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁴ He appointed to David his servant to raise up of him a most mighty king, and sitting on the throne of glory for ever.

³⁵ Who filleth up wisdom as the Phison, and as the Tigris in the days of the new fruits.

³⁶ Who maketh understanding to abound as the Euphrates, who multiplieth it as the Jordan in the time of harvest.

³⁷ Who sendeth knowledge as the light, and riseth up as Gehon in the time of the vintage.

³⁸ Who first hath perfect knowledge of her, and a weaker shall not search her out.

³⁹ For her thoughts are more vast than the sea, and her counsels more deep than the great ocean.
