Wisdom 9:8

8 You told me to construct a temple on your holy mountain and an altar in the city in which you had taken up residence. It was to be a copy of the holy tent that you had prepared from the beginning.

Wisdom 9:8 In-Context

6 Indeed, even if somebody might be thought of as perfect, this person is nothing without your wisdom.
7 But you chose me to be king over your people and to be a judge of your sons and daughters.
8 You told me to construct a temple on your holy mountain and an altar in the city in which you had taken up residence. It was to be a copy of the holy tent that you had prepared from the beginning.
9 You have Wisdom with you. She knows all your works. She was present with you when you were making the world. She knows what pleases you. She knows what someone needs to do to follow your commandments.
10 Send her out to me from your holy heavens. Send her from your glorious throne so that she may labor with me here and that I may learn what is pleasing to you.
