Wisdom of Ben Sira 1:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 Only one is wise and greatly to be feared,
seated upon his throne—the Lord.
9 He is the one who created her,[a]
observed her, and recognized her value,
and so poured her forth upon all his works,
10 upon all flesh as he chose,
lavishing her upon those who love him.
[b][The love of the Lord is glorious wisdom;
he apportions her to those to whom he appears, that they may see him.]
