1 For wisdom is poured out like water, And glory fails not before him forever.
2 For he is mighty in all the secrets of righteousness, And unrighteousness will disappear as a shadow, And have no continuance; Because the chosen One stands before the Lord of Spirits, And his glory is forever and ever, And his might to all generations.
3 And in him dwells the spirit of wisdom, And the spirit which gives insight, And the spirit of understanding and of might, And the spirit of those who have fallen asleep in righteousness.
4 And he will judge the secret things, And none will be able to utter a lying word before him; For he is the chosen One before the Lord of Spirits according to His good pleasure.
