Wisdom 9:12-15 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And my works will be acceptable, and I will govern your people justly, and I will be worthy of the throne of my father.

13. For who among men can know the counsel of God? Or who can imagine the will of God?

14. For the thoughts of mortals are timid, and our foresight is uncertain.

15. For the corruptible body weighs down the soul, and this earthy dwelling presses many thoughts upon the mind.
