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.
17 I have always been a learner and am grateful to everyone who has been my teacher.
18 I was determined to live wisely and was devoted to the cause of goodness. I have no regrets.
