filed thing fall into her. Wis 7:26 For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness. Wis 7:27 And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets. Wis 7:28 For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom. Wis 7:29 For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. Wis 7:30 For after this cometh night: but vice shall not prevail against wisdom. Wis 8:1 Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things. Wis 8:2 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.

Wis 8:10 For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young. Wis 8:11 I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men. Wis 8:12 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.
