Sirach 24: 1 - 4, 16, 22 - 24
|
| 1
|
Wisdom will praise herself, and will glory 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 host she will glory:
|
| 3
|
"I came forth from the mouth of the Most High, and covered the earth like a mist.
|
| 4
|
I dwelt in high places, and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.
|
| 16
|
Like a terebinth I spread out my branches, and my branches are glorious and graceful.
|
| 22
|
Whoever obeys me will not be put to shame, and those who work with my help will not sin."
|
| 23
|
All this is the book of the covenant of the Most High God, the law which Moses commanded us as an inheritance for the congregations of Jacob.
