20 I directed my whole being toward her, and in purity I found her. I had a heart for her from the beginning. For this reason I will never be abandoned.
21 My guts were stirred to seek her; for this reason I gained a desired possession.
22 The Lord gave me the power to speak well, as my reward, and I will praise him with it.
23 Draw near to me, you who lack education, and stay in my school.
24 Why are you still lacking in these things; why do you thirst for this?
