1
Wisdom praises herself, and tells of her glory in the midst of her people.
2
In the assembly of the Most High she opens her mouth, and in the presence of his hosts she tells of her glory:
3
"I came forth from the mouth of the Most High, and covered the earth like a mist.
4
I dwelt in the highest heavens, and my throne was in a pillar of cloud.
5
Alone I compassed the vault of heaven and traversed the depths of the abyss.
