1
All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever.
2
Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?
3
Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom?
4
Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
5
The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.
6
To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels?
7
Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made manifest? and who hath understood her great experience?
8
There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne.
9
He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works.
