Wisdom of Solomon 7:8-10

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

⁸ I preferred her to scepters and thrones,
and I accounted wealth as nothing in comparison with her.^(A)
9 Neither did I liken to her any priceless gem,
because all gold is but a little sand in her sight,
and silver will be accounted as clay before her.^(B)
10 I loved her more than health and beauty,
and I chose to have her rather than light
because her radiance never ceases.^(C)
