Sirach 24:40-45 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

40. "I, wisdom, have poured forth rivers.

41. I am like a brook leading to a river of immense waters. I am like a channel flowing from a river. And I went forth from Paradise like an aqueduct.

42. I said: I will irrigate my garden of plantings, and I will thoroughly water the fruits of my field.

43. And behold, my brook became overflowing, and my river drew near to the sea.

44. For I illuminate doctrine to all, like the first light. And I will announce doctrine, even to those who are far away.

45. I will reach to all the lower parts of the earth, and I will gaze upon all who sleep, and I will illuminate all who hope in the Lord.
