1 Wisdom will praise herself, and she will boast in the midst of her people.

2 In the assembly of the Most High, she will open her mouth, and in the presence of his heavenly forces, she will boast:

3 “I came forth from the mouth of the Most High, and I covered the earth like a mist.

5 I alone encircled the vault of heaven and walked in the depths of abysses.
