Wisdom 8:6-8

Revised Standard Version

⁶ And if understanding is effective,
who more than she is fashioner of what exists?
⁷ And if any one loves righteousness,
her labors are virtues;
for she teaches self-control and prudence,
justice and courage;
nothing in life is more profitable for men than these.
⁸ And if any one longs for wide experience,
she knows the things of old, and infers the things to come;
she understands turns of speech and the solutions of riddles;
she has foreknowledge of signs and wonders
and of the outcome of seasons and times.
