He that feareth God, will do good: and he that possesseth justice, shall lay hold on her, 2And she will meet him as an honourable mother, and will receive him as a wife married of a virgin. 3With the bread of life and understanding, she shall feed him, and give him the water of wholesome wisdom to drink: and she shall be made strong in him, and he shall not be moved. 4And she shall hold him fast, and he shall not be confounded: and she shall exalt him among his neighbours. 5And in the midst of the church she shall open his mouth, and shall fill him with the spirit of wisdom and understanding, and shall clothe him with a robe of glory. 6She shall heap upon him a treasure of joy and gladness, and shall cause him to inherit an everlasting name. 7But foolish men shall not obtain her, and wise men shall meet her, foolish men shall not see her: for she is far from pride and deceit. 8Lying men shall be mindful of her: but men that speak truth shall be found with her, and shall advance, even till they come to the sight of God. 9Praise is not seemly in the mouth of a sinner: 10For wisdom came forth from God: for praise shall be with the wisdom of God, and shall abound in a faithful mouth, and the sovereign Lord will give praise unto it.
