From the first blossom to the ripening of the grape clusters, my heart delighted in her; I walked in straight paths; I chased her down from my youth.
16
I paid a little attention, and I received her and found much instruction for myself.
17
I made progress with her; I will give glory to the one who gives me Wisdom.
18
I made up my mind to put Wisdom into practice; I sought the good, and I will never be ashamed.
19
My whole being grappled with her, and I was brought to perfection in my performance of the Law. I spread out my hands toward heaven, and I kept in mind my ignorance of her.
