1 Thus, she reaches mightily from one end all the way to the other, and she orders all things sweetly.
·
2 I have loved her and searched for her from my youth, and have asked to take her to me as my spouse, and I became a lover of her form.
·
3 She glorifies her lineage by having companionship with God; yes and of all things, the Lord loves her.
·
4 For she teaches the teaching of God and is the chooser of his works.

5 And if riches are longed for in life, what is richer than wisdom, which is being served in all things?
·
6 But if the mind is to be served, who, of all that exists, is a greater artisan than she?
·
7 And if anyone loves justice, her labors hold great virtues; for she teaches temperance and prudence, justice and virtue, and nothing is more useful in human life.
·
8 And if one desires a multitude of knowledge, she knows the past and forecasts the future; she knows the subtleties of conversation and the response to arguments; she understands the signs and portents, before the events take place, events both of the present time and of future ages.
