Sirach 39:7-9

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷ He will open his mouth in prayer, and will make supplication for his sins.

⁸ For if it shall please the great Lord, he will fill him with the spirit of understanding:

⁹ And he will pour forth the words of his wisdom as showers, and in his prayer he will confess to the Lord.
