I came out of the mouth of the most High and covered the earth as a cloud. I dwelt in high places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar. I alone compassed the circuit of the sky and walked in the bottom of the deep; in the waves of the sea and in all the earth and in every people and nation. He created me from the beginning, before the world and I shall never fail. (Ecclus. 24:3-6,9)
