Sirach 1:2-4

Good News Translation

² Who can count raindrops or the sand along the shore?
    Who can count the days of eternity?
³ How high is the sky? How wide is the earth?
    How deep is the ocean? How profound is Wisdom?
    Can anyone find answers to these questions?
⁴ Wisdom was created before anything else;
    understanding has always existed.^[a]
