Wisdom 9:2-6 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

2. And by thy wisdom hast appointed man, that he should have dominion over the creature that was made by thee,

3. That he should order the world according to equity and justice, and execute justice with an upright heart:

4. Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne, and cast me not off from among thy children:

5. For I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid, a weak man, and of short time, and falling short of the understanding of judgment and laws.

6. For if one be perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.
