Ecclesiasticus 24:6-13 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. I made that in the heavens there should rise light that never faileth, and as a cloud I covered all the earth:

7. I dwelt in the highest places, and my throne is in a pillar of a cloud.

8. I alone have compassed the circuit of heaven, and have penetrated into the bottom of the deep, and have walked in the waves of the sea,

9. And have stood in all the earth: and in every people,

10. And in every nation I have had the chief rule:

11. And by my power I have trodden under my feet the hearts of all the high and low: and in all these I sought rest, and I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.

12. Then the creator of all things commanded, and said to me: and he that made me, rested in my tabernacle,

13. And he said to me: Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thy inheritance in Israel, and take root in my elect.
