Wisdom of Solomon 7:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁷ Therefore I prayed, and understanding was given me;
I called on God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.^(A)
8 I preferred her to scepters and thrones,
and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.^(B)
9 Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem,
because all gold is but a little sand in her sight,
and silver will be accounted as clay before her.^(C)
