Wisdom 7:12-14

Revised Standard Version

¹² I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom leads them;
but I did not know that she was their mother.
¹³ I learned without guile and I impart without grudging;
I do not hide her wealth,
¹⁴ for it is an unfailing treasure for men;
those who get it obtain friendship with God,
commended for the gifts that come from instruction.
