"All wisdom cometh from the Lord, and is with him for ever. Who can number the sand of the sea, and the drops of rain, and the days of eternity? Who can find out the height of heaven, and the breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wisdom? Wisdom hath been created before all things, and the understanding of prudence from everlasting...There is one wise and greatly to be feared, the Lord sitting upon his throne. He created her, and saw her, and numbered her, and poured her out upon all his works."

Ecclesiasticus (Sira) 1:1-4 and verses 8-9. (Apocrypha)

"If thou desire wisdom, keep the commandments, and the Lord shall give her unto thee."

Ecclesiasticus (Sira) 1:26
