Wisdom of Solomon 7:4-8

  1. I was nursed in swaddling clothes, and that with cares.

  2. For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.

  3. For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.

  4. Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.

  5. I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
