Wisdom 13:19
He asks it for wealth, for profit in his work, and for success in all he sets his hands to do—all this from something whose hands are powerless to do anything.
And for a good journey he petitioneth him that cannot walk: and for getting, and for working, and for the event of all things he asketh him that is unable to do any thing.
Its hands have no power, but he asks it to help him—in business, in making money, and in his work.
For profit in business and success with his hands he asks power of a thing with hands utterly powerless.
And for profits, work, and success in affairs, he asks the assistance of something whose hands are completely immobile.
for money-making and work and success with his hands he asks strength of a thing whose hands have no strength.
for money-making and work and success with his hands he asks strength of a thing whose hands have no strength.
for money-making and work and success with his hands he asks strength of a thing whose hands have no strength.
for money-making and work and success with his hands, he asks strength of a thing whose hands have no strength.
for money-making and work and success with his hands he asks strength of a thing whose hands have no strength.
for money-making and work and success with his hands he asks strength of a thing whose hands have no strength.
and of getting and of working, and of (the) befalling of all things he asketh of him, which is unprofitable in all things. [and of purchasing, and of working, and of the chance of all things he asketh of it, that in all things is unprofitable.]
