Ben Sira 51:14

14 I went to the Temple and asked for her, and I will look for her as long as I live.

Ben Sira 51:14 In-Context

12 and saved me from the threat of destruction. And so I thank you and praise you. O Lord, I praise you!
13 When I was still young, before I started out on my travels, I boldly prayed for Wisdom.
14 I went to the Temple and asked for her, and I will look for her as long as I live.
15 From my blossoming youth to my ripe old age she has been my delight. I have followed directly in her path ever since I was young.
16 I received Wisdom as soon as I began listening for her, and I have been rewarded with great knowledge.
