Wis 9:14
King James Version
“For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.”
Context
11For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.
12So shall my works be acceptable, and then shall I judge thy people righteously, and be worthy to sit in my father’s seat.
13For what man is he that can know the counsel of God? or who can think what the will of the Lord is?
14For the thoughts of mortal men are miserable, and our devices are but uncertain.
15For the corruptible body presseth down the soul, and the earthy tabernacle weigheth down the mind that museth upon many things.
16And hardly do we guess aright at things that are upon earth, and with labour do we find the things that are before us: but the things that are in heaven who hath searched out?
17And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?
