1Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.
2I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.[#Ecclus 15.2.]
3In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.[#Prov 8.30.]
4For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.[#Prov 8.22-31.]
5If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?
6And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?
7And if a man love righteousness, her labors 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.
8If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtleties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.[#Prov 1.6.]
9Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counselor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief.
10For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honor with the elders, though I be young.
11I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.[#1 Kgs 4.34.]
12When 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.
13Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.[#Ecclus 39.9.]
14I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.[#1 Kgs 4.21,24.]
15Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war.
16After 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.
17Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality;
18and 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.
19For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.
20Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled.
21Nevertheless, 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,[#Prov 2.6; Jas 1.5.]
