Ben Sira 24:25-27
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
25 It overflows, like the Pishon, with wisdom,(A)
and like the Tigris at the time of first fruits.
26 It runs over, like the Euphrates, with understanding,
and like the Jordan at harvest time.
27 It floods like the Nile with instruction,
like the Gihon[a] at vintage time.
