Be like a father to orphans, and provide widows with the help their husbands can no longer give them. Then you will be like a child of the Most High, and he will love you more than your own mother does.

Wisdom takes care of those who look for her; she raises them to greatness.

Loving her is loving life itself; rising early to look for her is pure joy.

Anyone who obtains Wisdom will be greatly honored. Wherever he goes, the Lord will bless him.

Wisdom's servants are the servants of the Holy One, and the Lord loves everyone who loves her.
