9 Qui ne reconnaît chez eux la preuve Que la main de l’Éternel a fait toutes choses?

10 Il tient dans sa main l’âme de tout ce qui vit, Le souffle de toute chair d’homme.

11 L’oreille ne discerne-t-elle pas les paroles, Comme le palais savoure les aliments?

12 Dans les vieillards se trouve la sagesse, Et dans une longue vie l’intelligence.

13 En Dieu résident la sagesse et la puissance. Le conseil et l’intelligence lui appartiennent.
