10
I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light; for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.
11
All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.
12
And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before them; and I knew not that she was the mother of them.
13
I learned diligently and do communicate her liberally; I do not hide her riches.
14
For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth, which those who use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning.
