Wisdom 7:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.

⁷ Wherefore I wished, and understanding was given me: and I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came upon me:

⁸ And I preferred her before kingdoms and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.
