Wisdom of Solomon 6:12–16

¹²Wisdom is radiant and unfading,

and she is easily discerned by those who love her,

and is found by those who seek her.

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

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

for he will find her sitting at his gates.

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

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

¹⁶because she goes about seeking those worthy of her,

and she graciously appears to them in their paths,

and meets them in every thought.
