Wisdom 9:4 CPDV

²  and by your wisdom has established man to have dominion over the creatures which have been made by you,

³  so that he would order the world in equity and justice, and execute judgment with an upright heart,

⁴  give me wisdom, the handmaiden at your throne, and be unwilling to reject me from among your children,

⁵  because I am your servant, and the son of your handmaid, a weak man, and short-lived, with limited understanding of judgment and laws.

⁶  And if someone were perfect among the sons of men, yet if your wisdom was taken away from him, he would be counted as nothing.
