Wisdom 8:19-21

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁹ Forsooth I was a witty child, and I got a good soul.

²⁰ And when I was more good, I came to a body undefouled.

²¹ And as I knew, that else I may not be chaste, no but God give it, and this same thing was wisdom, to know whose this gift was; I went to the Lord, and I besought him, and I said, of (or with) all mine entrails (of mine heart). [And as I knew, for otherwise I may not be continent, either chaste, but God give, and that self was wisdom, to know of whom was that gift; I went to the Lord, and prayed him and said, of all the entrails of mine heart.]
