Wisdom 9:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ For why the body that is corrupt[ed], grieveth the soul; and (the) earthly dwelling presseth down the wit, thinking many things.

¹⁶ And of hard we guess those things, that be in (or on) (the) earth; and we find with travail those things, that be in beholding. But who shall search those things, that be in (the) heavens? [or That forsooth in heavens be, who shall ensearch?]

¹⁷ But who shall know thy wit, no but thou give wisdom/but if thou give wisdom, and send thine Holy Spirit from (the) highest things?
