1 All wisdom comes from the Lord.It lives with him forever.
2 Who can count the grains of sand in the seas,the drops of rain,or the days of eternity?
3 Who can discover heaven’s height,the earth’s breadth,the abyss, or wisdom?
4 Wisdom was created before everything else.Right understandingis as old as eternity.
6 To whom was Wisdom’s root revealed?Who knew her wonderful feats?
8 There is one who is wise, greatly feared,seated upon his throne.
9 The Lord himself created her;he saw her; he measured her.The Lord poured her outover everything he made,to be with each personto the extent that God grants,and he supplied her abundantlyto those who love him.
