Apocrypha, Ecclesiasticus,24;1-10                                                                                                                               Wisdom,                                                                                                                                                     Wisdom shall praise herself,and shall glory in the midst of her people.                                                                In the congregation of the most High shall she open her mouth,and triumph before his power.             I came out of the mouth of the most High, and covered the earth as a cloud.                                         I dwelt in high places,and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.                                                                                   I alone compassed the circuit of heaven,and walked in the bottom of the deep.                                                  In the waves of the sea,and in all the earth,and every people and nation,I got a possession.                              With all these I sought rest;and in whose inheritance shall I abide?                                                                    So the  Creator of all things gave me a commandment, and he that made me caused my tabernacle to rest,and said, Let your dwelling be in Jacob,and your inheritance in Israel.                                                             He created me from the beginning before the world,and I shall never fail.                                                           In the holy tabernacle I served before him; and I was established in Sion.
