Wisdom 9:8-10

Good News Translation

⁸ You told me to build a temple on your sacred mountain, an altar in Jerusalem, the city you chose as your home. It is a copy of that temple in heaven, which you prepared at the beginning. ⁹ Wisdom is with you and knows your actions; she was present when you made the world. She knows what pleases you, what is right and in accordance with your commands. ¹⁰ Send her from the holy heavens, down from your glorious throne, so that she may work at my side, and I may learn what pleases you.
