Sirach 24:1–5

1 Wisdom will praise herself,

and will glory in the midst of her people.

2 In the assembly of the Most High she will open her mouth,

and in the presence of his host she will glory:

3 “I came forth from the mouth of the Most High,

and covered the earth like a mist.

4 I dwelt in high places,

and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.

5 Alone I have made the circuit of the vault of heaven

and have walked in the depths of the abyss.
