Baruch 3:29-36

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ Who has gone up into heaven, and taken her,
    and brought her down from the clouds?
³⁰ Who has gone over the sea, and found her,
    and will buy her for pure gold?
³¹ No one knows the way to her,
    or is concerned about the path to her.
³² But he who knows all things knows her,
    he found her by his understanding.
He who prepared the earth for all time
    filled it with four-footed creatures;
³³ he who sends forth the light, and it goes,
    called it, and it obeyed him in fear;
³⁴ the stars shone in their watches, and were glad;
    he called them, and they said, “Here we are!”
    They shone with gladness for him who made them.
³⁵ This is our God;
    no other can be compared to him!
³⁶ He found the whole way to knowledge,
    and gave her to Jacob his servant
    and to Israel whom he loved.
