Wisdom of Ben Sira 1:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 The sands of the sea, the drops of rain,
and the days of eternity—who can count them?
3 The height of the sky, the breadth of the earth,
the depth of the abyss[a]—who can explore them?
4 Wisdom was created before all other things;
and prudent understanding has existed from eternity.
