15
May God grant that I speak with judgment and have thought worthy of what I have received, for he is the guide even of wisdom and the corrector of the wise.
16
For both we and our words are in his hand, as are all understanding and skill in crafts.
17
For it is he who gave me unerring knowledge of what exists, to know the structure of the world and the activity of the elements;
18
the beginning and end and middle of times, the alternations of the solstices and the changes of the seasons,
19
the cycles of the year and the constellations of the stars,
