Wisdom 7: 7 - 11
|
| 7
|
Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me; I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
|
| 8
|
I preferred her to scepters and thrones, and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.
|
| 9
|
Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem, because all gold is but a little sand in her sight, and silver will be accounted as clay before her.
|
| 10
|
I loved her more than health and beauty, and I chose to have her rather than light, because her radiance never ceases.
|
| 11
|
All good things came to me along with her, and in her hands uncounted wealth.
