Wisdom of Ben Sira 17:5-7
New Catholic Bible
[5 He received the use of the five faculties from the Lord;
as a sixth he gave him the gift of mind,
and as a seventh the gift of reason, the interpreter of one’s faculties.][a]
6 He fashioned men’s tongues, eyes, and ears
and gave them minds with which to think.
7 He filled them with wisdom and understanding
and a knowledge of good and evil.
