21
I bowed down my ear a little, and received her.
22
I found much wisdom in myself, and I profited much therein.
23
To him that giveth me wisdom, will I give glory.
24
For I have determined to follow her: I have had a zeal for good, and shall not be confounded.
25
My soul hath wrestled for her, and in doing it I have been confirmed.
26
I stretched forth my hands on high, and I bewailed my ignorance of her.
27
I directed my soul to her, and in knowledge I found her.
28
I possessed my heart with her from the beginning: therefore I shall not be forsaken.
29
My entrails were troubled in seeking her: therefore shall I possess a good possession.
30
The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward: and with it I will praise him.
31
Draw near to me, ye unlearned, and gather yourselves together into the house of discipline.
