1 [Wisdom] reacheth from one end to another mightily; and sweetly doth she order all things.
·
2 I loved her, and sought [her] out from my youth, I desired to make [her] my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.
·
3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.
·
4 For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.
·
5 If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?
·
6 And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?
·
7 And if a man love righteousness, her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as men can have nothing more profitable in their life.
·
8 If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth [aright] what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.

·
14 I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.

15 Horrible tyrants shall be afraid when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war.
·
16 After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness: and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.
·
17 Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality;
·
18 and great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.
·
19 For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.
·
20 Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled.
