The Praise of Wisdom[a]

24 Wisdom praises herself,
    and tells of her glory in the midst of her people.
In the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth,
    and in the presence of his hosts she tells of her glory:

    and covered the earth like a mist.

    and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.
