Wisdom 6:10–18
10For those who have kept the things that are holy in holiness will be made holy. Those who have been taught them will find what to say in defense.↗
11Therefore set your desire on my words. Long for them, and you princes will be instructed.↗
12Wisdom is radiant and doesn’t fade away; and is easily seen by those who love her, and found by those who seek her.↗
13She anticipates those who desire her, making herself known.↗
14He who rises up early to seek her won’t have difficulty, for he will find her sitting at his gates.↗
15For to think upon her is perfection of understanding, and he who watches for her will quickly be free from care;↗
16because she herself goes around, seeking those who are worthy of her, and in their paths she appears to them graciously, and in every purpose she meets them.↗
17For her true beginning is desire for instruction; and desire for instruction is love.↗
18And love is observance of her laws. To give heed to her laws confirms immortality.↗
