Wisdom of Solomon 9:15-17
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 for a perishable body weighs down the soul,
and this earthy tent burdens the thoughtful[a] mind.(A)
16 We can hardly guess at what is on earth,
and what is at hand we find with labor,
but who has traced out what is in the heavens?
17 Who has learned your counsel
unless you have given wisdom
and sent your holy spirit from on high?(B)
