Ecclesiasticus 24:1-9

The Praise of Wisdom *

24Wisdom praises herself,
   and tells of her glory in the midst of her people.
2 In the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth,
   and in the presence of his hosts she tells of her glory:
3 ‘I came forth from the mouth of the Most High,
   and covered the earth like a mist.
4 I dwelt in the highest heavens,
   and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.
5 Alone I compassed the vault of heaven
   and traversed the depths of the abyss.
6 Over waves of the sea, over all the earth,
   and over every people and nation I have held sway.*
7 Among all these I sought a resting-place;
   in whose territory should I abide?


8 ‘Then the Creator of all things gave me a command,
   and my Creator chose the place for my tent.
He said, “Make your dwelling in Jacob,
   and in Israel receive your inheritance.”
9 Before the ages, in the beginning, he created me,
   and for all the ages I shall not cease to be.
