3 Who has examined the wisdom of God, which precedes all things?
4 Wisdom was created before all things, and the understanding of prudence is before all time.
5 The Word of God on high is the source of wisdom, whose steps are eternal commandments.
6 To whom has the root of wisdom been revealed, and who has recognized her astuteness?
7 To whom has the discipline of wisdom been revealed and made manifest? And who has understood the multiplicity of her steps?
8 The most high omnipotent Creator is One, and he is the mighty King, and he is exceedingly to be feared, sitting upon his throne, and he is the sovereign God.
9 He created wisdom through the Holy Spirit, and he saw her, and numbered her, and measured her.
