Wisdom 9:13-18b
Chapter 9
13
Who can know God’s intentions? Who can understand the Lord’s plan?
14
For human reasoning is timid, and our ideas can be misleading;
15
a fragile body is a burden for the soul, and our tent of clay weighs down the active mind.
16
We hardly understand the things of the earth, and it is difficult to grasp what is close to us; so who can hope to understand heavenly things?
17
Who has ever known your will unless you first give him Wisdom and send down you Holy Spirit to him?
18
In this way, you guide humanity on the right path; they learn what pleases you and are saved by Wisdom.
