Sirach 1:8-9
Common English Bible
8 There is one who is wise, greatly feared,
seated upon his throne.
9 The Lord himself created her;
he saw her; he measured her.
The Lord poured her out
over everything he made,
to be with each person
to the extent that God grants,
and he supplied her abundantly
to those who love him.[a]
