Sirach 1:1-10
Wisdom was created before all things
The beginning of the Book of Jesus, son of Sirach
All wisdom comes from the LORD and is with him forever. The sand of the sea, the drops of rain, and the days of eternity – who can count them? The height of heaven, the breadth of the earth, the abyss, and wisdom – who can search them out? Wisdom was created before all things, and prudent understanding from eternity. The source of wisdom is God’s word in the highest heaven, and her ways are the eternal commandments. The root of wisdom – to whom has it been revealed? Her clever devices – who knows them? The knowledge of wisdom – to whom was it manifested? And her abundant experience – who has understood it? There is One who is wise, the Creator of all, the King greatly to be feared, sitting upon his throne, and ruling as God. The LORD himself created wisdom in the holy spirit; he saw her and apportioned her, he poured her out upon all his works. She dwells with all flesh according to his gift, and he supplied her to those who love him.
The word of the Lord.
