Sirach 39:8-10

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁸ For if it shall please the great Lord, he will fill him with the spirit of understanding:

⁹ And he will pour forth the words of his wisdom as showers, and in his prayer he will confess to the Lord.

¹⁰ And he shall direct his counsel, and his knowledge, and in his secrets shall he meditate.
