Wisdom 7:14-16

Common English Bible

¹⁴ She’s a never-ending treasure for humans. Those who possess her are ready to be God’s friends, commended for the gifts that come from instruction.

Wisdom’s all-embracing excellence

¹⁵ I pray that God will allow me to speak knowledgeably and to ponder well what God has taught me. God himself is the guide even of Wisdom, and God keeps those who already possess wisdom on the right course. ¹⁶ We’re in God’s hands, as are our words, all our reasoning, and all our practical knowledge.
