Wisdom of Solomon 6:12–16

Wisdom is radiant and fadeth not away;

And easily is she beheld of them that love her,

And found of them that seek her.

She forestalleth them that desire to know her, making herself first known.

He that riseth up early to seek her shall have no toil,

For he shall find her sitting at his gates.

For to think upon her is perfection of understanding,

And he that keepeth vigil for her sake shall quickly be free from care.

For she goeth about, seeking them that are worthy of her,

And in their paths she appeareth unto them graciously,

And in every purpose she meeteth them.
