Wisdom 8:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Thinking these things with myself, and pondering them in my heart, that to be allied to wisdom is immortality,

¹⁸ And that there is great delight in her friendship, and inexhaustible riches in the works of her hands, and in the exercise of conference with her, wisdom, and glory in the communication of her words: I went about seeking, that I might take her to myself.

¹⁹ And I was a witty child and had received a good soul.
