O Sapientia - II

O Sapientia, quæ ex ore Altissimi prodiisti, attingens a fine usque ad finem, fortiter suaviterque disponens omnia: veni ad docendum nos viam prudentiæ.

O Wisdom, Who from the mouth of the Most High didst come forth, stretching from end to end, strongly and suavely disposing all things: come to teach us the way of prudence.
