And if understanding worketh, Who more than wisdom is an artificer of the things that are?

More versions

If thoughtful planning accomplishes things, who could possibly be wiser than she who designed everything that is?

But if the mind is to be served, who, of all that exists, is a greater artisan than she?

And if sense do work: who is a more artful worker than she of those things that are?

Is knowledge a useful thing to have? Nothing is better than Wisdom, who has given shape to everything that exists.

And if understanding is effective, who more than wisdom is an architect of the things that exist?

Wisdom is more useful than knowledge—she designed everything that is.
