14. For the deliberations of mortals are timid,and uncertain our plans.
15. For the corruptible body burdens the souland the earthly tent weighs down the mind with its many concerns.
16. Scarcely can we guess the things on earth,and only with difficulty grasp what is at hand;but things in heaven, who can search them out?
17. Or who can know your counsel, unless you give Wisdomand send your holy spirit from on high?
