Sirach 1:4
King James VersionSource notes
“Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.”
Context
1All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever.
2Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity?
3Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom?
4Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting.
5The word of God most high is the fountain of wisdom; and her ways are everlasting commandments.
6To whom hath the root of wisdom been revealed? or who hath known her wise counsels?
7Unto whom hath the knowledge of wisdom been made manifest? and who hath understood her great experience?
