Sirach 24:5-10 World English Bible (WEB)

5. Alone I compassed the circuit of heaven, And walked in the depth of the abyss.

6. In the waves of the sea, and in all the earth, And in every people and nation, I got a possession.

7. With all these I sought rest; And in whose inheritance shall I lodge?

8. Then the Creator of all things gave me a commandment; And he that created me made my tabernacle to rest, And said, Let your tabernacle be in Jacob, And your inheritance in Israel.

9. He created me from the beginning before the world; And to the end I shall not fail.

10. In the holy tabernacle I ministered before him; And so was I established in Sion.
