1Wisdom is found in the book of God's laws and teachings, and they will last forever. Everyone who follows Wisdom will live, but those who ignore her will die.[#Si 24.23.]
2People of Israel, you must turn to Wisdom and keep her with you always. Her light shines brightly, so walk toward it.[#4.2 Greek “Jacob,” an earlier name for the great ancestor of the nation of Israel.]
3Don't give away to any other nation the glorious Wisdom that rightfully belongs to you.
4We should celebrate, because we are the people of Israel, the only ones who know what pleases God.
5Be brave, my people. Keep Israel's name alive!
6You were not sold to enemy nations to be destroyed. Instead, those nations dragged you away as captives because you did things that God hated.
7God is your Creator, yet you made him angry by offering sacrifices to demons instead of to him.
8You rejected the eternal God who gave you life. And you caused much sadness for Jerusalem, the city that was a mother to you.
9When she saw God punish you in anger, she said:
30City of Jerusalem, be brave! Your God chose you long ago as his own, and he will soon comfort you.
31Disaster will come to those nations who mistreated you and celebrated your destruction.
32The cities that made your children their slaves will one day be miserable, and the city of Babylon, where your people now live, will suffer pain.
33Babylon was glad when you fell and were destroyed; now she will moan at her own destruction.
34God will turn her pride into mourning, and she will no longer be proud of her great people.
35The eternal God will send down fire, and she will burn for days and days, until nothing can live there except demons.
36-37Jerusalem, look toward the east and be glad, because God is bringing your children home! They were once dragged away as captives, yet at his command they are now gathered together from the east and the west and are praising God's glorious power.
