Wisdom of Solomon 7:4-8
-
4 I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.
-
5 For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.
-
6 For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.
-
7 Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.
-
8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
