Sirach 1:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ There is but one who is wise, greatly to be feared,
    seated upon his throne—the Lord.
⁹ It is he who created her;
    he saw her and took her measure;
    he poured her out upon all his works,
¹⁰ upon all the living according to his gift;
    he lavished her upon those who love him.^[a]
