Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things. 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. 3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her. 4 For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works. 5 If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things? 6 And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she? 7 And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as en can have nothing more profitable in their life. 8 If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times. 9 Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief. 10 For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young. 11 I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men. 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. 13 Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me. 14 I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me. 15 Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war. 16 After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy. 17 Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality; 18 And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me. 19 For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit. 20 Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled. 21 Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said,

et qu\u00e6sivi sponsam mihi eam assumere, et amator factus sum form\u00e6 illius. 3\u00a0Generositatem illius glorificat, contubernium habens Dei; sed et omnium Dominus dilexit illam. 4\u00a0Doctrix enim est disciplin\u00e6 Dei, et electrix operum illius. 5\u00a0Et si diviti\u00e6 appetuntur in vita, quid sapientia locupletius qu\u00e6 operatur omnia? 6\u00a0Si autem sensus operatur, quis horum qu\u00e6 sunt magis quam illa est artifex? 7\u00a0Et si justitiam quis diligit, labores hujus magnas habent virtutes: sobrietatem enim et prudentiam docet, et justitiam, et virtutem, quibus utilius nihil est in vita hominibus. 8\u00a0Et si multitudinem scienti\u00e6 desiderat quis, scit pr\u00e6terita, et de futuris \u00e6stimat; scit versutias sermonum, et dissolutiones argumentorum; signa et monstra scit antequam fiant, et eventus temporum et s\u00e6culorum. 9\u00a0Proposui ergo hanc adducere mihi ad convivendum, sciens quoniam mecum communicabit de bonis, et erit allocutio cogitationis et t\u00e6dii mei. 10\u00a0Habebo propter hanc claritatem ad turbas, et honorem apud seniores juvenis; 11\u00a0et acutus inveniar in judicio, et in conspectu potentium admirabilis ero, et facies principum mirabuntur me: 12\u00a0tacentem me sustinebunt, et loquentem me respicient, et sermocinante me plura, manus ori suo imponent. 13\u00a0Pr\u00e6terea habebo per hanc immortalitatem, et memoriam \u00e6ternam his qui post me futuri sunt relinquam. 14\u00a0Disponam populos, et nationes mihi erunt subdit\u00e6: 15\u00a0timebunt me audientes reges horrendi. In multitudine videbor bonus, et in bello fortis. 16\u00a0Intrans in domum meam, conquiescam cum illa: non enim habet amaritudinem conversatio illius, nec t\u00e6dium convictus illius, sed l\u00e6titiam et gaudium. 17\u00a0H\u00e6c cogitans apud me et commemorans in corde meo, quoniam immortalitas est in cognatione sapienti\u00e6, 18\u00a0et in amicitia illius delectatio bona, et in operibus manuum illius honestas sine defectione, et in certamine loquel\u00e6 illius sapientia, et pr\u00e6claritas in communicatione sermonum ipsius: circuibam qu\u00e6rens, ut mihi illam assumerem. 19\u00a0Puer autem eram ingeniosus, et sortitus sum animam bonam. 20\u00a0Et cum essem magis bonus, veni ad corpus incoinquinatum. 21\u00a0Et ut scivi quoniam aliter non possem esse continens, nisi Deus det; et hoc ipsum erat sapienti\u00e6, scire cujus esset hoc donum: adii Dominum, et deprecatus sum illum, et dixi ex totis pr\u00e6cordiis meis:] |","title":"Polyglot Bible: Wisdom: Wisdom 8","type":"page"}
