Wisdom of Ben Sira 1:3-5
New Catholic Bible
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.
[5 The fount of wisdom is God’s word in the highest heaven,
and her ways are the eternal laws.][b]
