ng present she may labour with me, that I may
know what is pleasing unto thee.

Wis 9:11
For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall
lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.

Wis 9:12
So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy
people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father's seat.

Wis 9:13
For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who
can think what the will of the Lord is?

Wis 9:14
For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices
are but uncertain.

Wis 9:15
For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the
earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many
things.

Wis 9:16
And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth,
and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but
the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?

Wis 9:17
And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and
send thy Holy Spirit from above?

Wis 9:18
For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were
reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto
thee, and were saved through wisdom.

Wis 10:1
She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was
created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

Wis 10:2
And gave him power to rule all things.

Wis 10:3
But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he
perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

Wis 10:4
For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood,
wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the
righteous in a piece of wood of small value.

Wis 10:5
Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being
confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him
blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender
compassion toward his son.

Wis 10:6
When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man,
who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.

Wis 10:7
Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that
smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come
to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an
unbelieving soul.

Wis 10:8
For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that
they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind
them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in
the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be
hid.
