“It overflows
Like the Pishon,
With wisdom.
It overflows
Like the Tigris
At the time of the first fruits.
It runs over,
Like the Euphrates,
With understanding.
It is
Like the Jordan
At harvest time.
It pours forth instruction
Like the Nile.
It is
Like the Gihon
At the time of vintage.
Just as the first man
Did not know wisdom fully,
Neither will the last one
Fathom her.
Her thoughts
Are more abundant
Than the sea.
Her counsel deeper
Than the great abyss.”
Sirach goes into a section on how wisdom overflows its banks like many of the rivers in the area. Using the 4 biblical paradise rivers mentioned as surrounding the Garden of Eden, in Genesis, chapter 2, the Pishon, the Tigris, the Euphrates, and the Gihon, Sirach spoke of them individually. Wisdom overflowed each of them. He also spoke of 2 other important rivers for the Israelites, the Jordan and the Nile. Finally he mentioned that the first man did not fully understand wisdom. However, he also said that the last man would not fully understand wisdom either, because her thoughts are more abundant and deeper than the sea.
