Sirach 1:6-11 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

6. To whom has the root of wisdom been revealed, and who has recognized her astuteness?

7. To whom has the discipline of wisdom been revealed and made manifest? And who has understood the multiplicity of her steps?

8. The most high omnipotent Creator is One, and he is the mighty King, and he is exceedingly to be feared, sitting upon his throne, and he is the sovereign God.

9. He created wisdom through the Holy Spirit, and he saw her, and numbered her, and measured her.

10. And he poured her over all his works, and over all flesh, to the extent of his favor, and he has offered her to those who love him.

11. The fear of the Lord is glory, and honor, and rejoicing, and a crown of exultation.
