Sirach 24:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸ “Then the Creator of all things gave me a command,
    and my Creator chose the place for my tent.
He said, ‘Make your dwelling in Jacob,
    and in Israel receive your inheritance.’
⁹ Before the ages, in the beginning, he created me,
    and for all the ages I shall not cease to be.
¹⁰ In the holy tent I ministered before him,
    and so I was established in Zion.
