Wisdom 8:1-6

1 Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily, and sweetly doth she order all things.

2 I loved her, and sought her out from my youth; I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.

3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility; yea, the Lord of all things Himself loved her.

4 For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of His works.

5 If riches be a possession to be desired in this life, what is richer than wisdom that worketh all things?

6 And if prudence work, who of all that are is a more skillful workman than she?
