Wisdom of Solomon 6:12–16

12 Covet ye, therefore, my words, and love them, and you shall have instruction.

13 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away, and is easily seen by them that love her, and is found by them that seek her.

14 She preventeth them that covet her, so that she first sheweth herself unto them.

15 He that awaketh early to seek her, shall not labour: for he shall find her sitting at his door.

16 To think, therefore, upon her, is perfect understanding: and he that watcheth for her, shall quickly be secure.

11 Therefore set your desire on my words;

long for them, and you will be instructed.

12 Wisdom is radiant and unfading,

and she is easily discerned by those who love her

and is found by those who seek her.

13 She hastens to make herself known to those who desire her.

14 One who rises early to seek her will have no difficulty,

for she will be found sitting at the gate.

15 To fix one’s thought on her is perfect understanding,

and one who is vigilant on her account will soon be free from care,
