²⁹These hidden things of the Lord our God have been revealed to us and to our sons in perpetuity, so that we may accomplish all the words of this law.”

⁷Instead, we speak of the wisdom of God in a mystery which has been hidden, which God predestined before this age for our glory, ⁸something that none of the leaders of this world have known. For if they had known it, they would never have crucified the Lord of glory. ⁹But this is just as it has been written: “The eye has not seen, and the ear has not heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man, what things God has prepared for those who love him.” ¹⁰But God has revealed these things to us through his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.

¹In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.

¹⁰And he said to them: “To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God. But to the rest, it is in parables, so that: seeing, they may not perceive, and hearing, they may not understand.

³³Oh, the depths of the richness of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How incomprehensible are his judgments, and how unsearchable are his ways!

⁹So does he make known to us the mystery of his will, which he has set forth in Christ, in a manner well-pleasing to him,

²⁴I have tested everything in wisdom. I have said: “I will be wise.” And wisdom withdrew farther from me,

¹³Blessed is the man who finds wisdom and who advances to prudence. ¹⁴Her acquisition is better than trading in silver, and her fruit is better than the first and purest gold. ¹⁵She is more precious than all riches, and all that can be desired cannot prevail in comparison to her. ¹⁶Length of days is at her right hand, and at her left hand is wealth and glory. ¹⁷Her ways are beautiful ways, and all her paths are peaceful. ¹⁸She is a tree of life to those who overtake her, and he who shall take hold of her is blessed.

¹And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God. ²On the fifth of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin, ³the word of the Lord came to Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him there. ⁴And I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber. ⁵And in its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them. ⁶Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
