\r\n 1\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things. <\/div>
2\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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. <\/div>
3\u00a0<\/a><\/span>In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her. <\/div>
4\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works. <\/div>
5\u00a0<\/a><\/span>If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things? <\/div>
6\u00a0<\/a><\/span>And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she? <\/div>
7\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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. <\/div>
8\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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. <\/div>
9\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief. <\/div>
10\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young. <\/div>
11\u00a0<\/a><\/span>I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men. <\/div>
12\u00a0<\/a><\/span>When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth. <\/div>
13\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me. <\/div>
14\u00a0<\/a><\/span>I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me. <\/div>
15\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war. <\/div>
16\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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. <\/div>
17\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality; <\/div>
18\u00a0<\/a><\/span>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. <\/div>
19\u00a0<\/a><\/span>For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit. <\/div>
20\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled. <\/div>
21\u00a0<\/a><\/span>Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said, <\/div>
