CHAP. VII.
1 All men haue their beginning and end alike. 6 He preferred wisedome before all things else. 8 God gaue him all the knowledge, which he had. 22 The praise of wisedome.
2 And in my mothers wombe was fashioned to be flesh in the time of tenne moneths being compacted in blood, of the seed of man, and the pleasure that came with sleepe.2
4 I was nursed in swadling clothes, and that with cares.
5 For there is no king that had any other beginning of birth.
6 For all men haue one entrance vnto life, and the like going out.6
8 I preferred her before scepters, and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
9 Neither compared I vnto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and siluer shalbe counted as clay before her.9
11 All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.11
13 I learned diligently, and doe communicate her liberally: I doe not hide her riches.13
14 For shee is a treasure vnto men that neuer faileth: which they that vse, become the friends of God: being commended for the gifts that come from learning.14
15 God hath granted me to speake as I would, and to conceiue as is meet for the things that are giuen mee: because it is hee that leadeth vnto wisedome, and directeth the wise.15
16 For in his hand are both we and our wordes: all wisedome also and knowledge of workemanship.
19 The circuits of yeres, and the positions of starres:
21 And all such things as are either secret or manifest: them I know.
22 For wisedome which is the worker of all things, taught mee: for in her is an vnderstanding spirit holy, one onely, manifold, subtile, liuely, cleare, vndefiled, plaine, not subiect to hurt, louing the thing that is good, quicke, which cānot be letted, ready to do good:22
25 For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no vndefiled thing fall into her.25
26 For shee is the brightnesse of the euerlasting light: the vnspotted mirrour of the power of God, and the Image of his goodnesse.26
27 And being but one she can doe all things: and remayning in her selfe, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entring into holy soules, she maketh them friends of God, & Prophets.27
28 For God loueth none but him, that dwelleth with wisedome.
30 For after this commeth night: but vice shall not preuaile against wisdome.
