Wisdom 9:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne, and cast me not off from among thy children:

⁵ For I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid, a weak man, and of short time, and falling short of the understanding of judgment and laws.

⁶ For if one be perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.
