4
Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
5
The word of God on high is the fountain of wisdom, and her ways are everlasting commandments.
6
To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed, and who hath known her wise counsels?
7
To whom hath the discipline of wisdom been revealed and made manifest? and who hath understood the multiplicity of her steps?
8
There is one most high Creator Almighty, and a powerful king, and greatly to be feared, who sitteth upon his throne, and is the God of dominion.
9
He created her in the Holy Ghost, and saw her, and numbered her, and measured her.
10
And he poured her out upon all his works, and upon all flesh according to his gift, and hath given her to them that love him.
11
The fear of the Lord is honour, and glory, and gladness, and a crown of joy.
12
The fear of the Lord shall delight the heart, and shall give joy, and gladness, and length of days.
13
With him that feareth the Lord, it shall go well in the latter end, and in the day of his death he shall be blessed.
14
The love of God is honourable wisdom.
