The Wisdom of Solomon 7:1-6


[1] I also am mortal, like all men,
a descendant of the first-formed child of earth;
and in the womb of a mother I was molded into flesh,
[2] within the period of ten months, compacted with blood,
from the seed of a man and the pleasure of marriage.
[3] And when I was born, I began to breathe the common air,
and fell upon the kindred earth,
and my first sound was a cry, like that of all.
[4] I was nursed with care in swaddling cloths.
[5] For no king has had a different beginning of existence;
[6] there is for all mankind one entrance into
life, and a common departure.
