Septuagint, used by Jews world wide not good enough? Predating the Incarnation of Jesus by 300 years not good enough? Jesus quoting Sirach not good enough? What other wisdom does the master have for us?

Those books were NEVER accepted into the Jewish canon. The Upanishads were written way before Jesus came to earth, too, do they count? Show me where Jesus ever quoted any Apocryphal/Deuterocanonical using the words "It is written".

"Those books were NEVER accepted into the Jewish canon.

This begs the question as to which canon is being discussed or if there is a suggestion that there was only a single Jewish canon. There were at least four; the Pharisee Canon, the Sadducee Canon, the Essene Canon and the Septuagint Canon embraced by the Jews living outside of Palestine. Note: There were more Jews living outside of Palestine in the first century than in it.

Jesus quoting the Deuterocanonicals not good enough for you either? Hmm.

The Septuagint is a Jewish Bible and they were in the Jewish canon. There were several different versions available for the various Jewish sects. The deuterocanonicals were not removed until the anti Christian Council of Jamnia which was convened in order to separate Judaism from Christianity.
