Wisdom of Solomon

1 O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,

4 Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:

10 O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.

13 For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?

17 And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?
