Wisdom 8:9

For these reasons, I decided to bring her to live with me. I knew that she would be a good counselor. I knew that she would be able to offer me advice when there were concerns or suffering.
I purposed therefore to take her to me to live with me: knowing that she will communicate to me of her good things, and will be a comfort in my cares and grief.
So I decided to take Wisdom home to live with me, because I knew that she would give me good advice and encourage me in times of trouble and grief.
So I determined to take her to live with me, knowing that she would be my counselor while all was well, and my comfort in care and grief.
And so I determined to take her as my life companion, confident that she would counsel me in times of prosperity and comfort me in times of anxiety and sorrow.
Therefore I determined to take her to live with me, knowing that she would give me good counsel and encouragement in cares and grief.
Therefore I determined to take her to live with me, knowing that she would give me good counsel and encouragement in cares and grief.
